B.Sc. in Radiology & Imaging Technology is a 3-year undergraduate course designed to train students in diagnostic imaging techniques used for identifying diseases and internal injuries. The course focuses on the use of technologies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, Ultrasound, and Mammography for accurate diagnosis and patient care.

Students learn both theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to operate imaging equipment, handle patients during procedures, ensure radiation safety, and assist radiologists in interpreting scans.
