Students in Ivy Tech's Medical Imaging program learn all about radiologic technology, the technology used to conduct x-rays from a JRCERT-Accredited program.
These imaging technique looks through the skin to capture pictures of patients' tissues, bones, and organs. This helps medical teams identify and diagnose medical conditions without invasive procedures.
The role of radiographers combines scientific knowledge, problem-solving techniques, and communication with the use of high-tech equipment to provide quality patient care.
Coursework covers seven key areas: technique, exposure, positioning, protection, physics, patient care, and ethics. In addition to classroom instruction, the program offers clinical practice and supplemental education in accredited hospitals and clinics.
While Ivy Tech's Medical Imaging program is designed to prepare students for an immediate career, some graduates choose to transfer to a four-year university to pursue a bachelor's degree. Transfer opportunities are available with several Indiana institutions, including Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), IU Kokomo, and the University of Southern Indiana. Online programs are also available throughout the country at various institutions.
Graduates of Ivy Tech's Medical Imaging program can pursue certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). These certified professionals work in hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. Common job titles include radiologic technologist and radiographer.
Nearly all graduates start working in General X-ray roles. Then, after building a strong base of professional experience, graduates can pursue certificates in a variety of specialties ranging from prenatal care to orthopedics. In a specialty, graduates can hold roles using:
* Requires additional schooling
Completing the program also can lead to industry roles like sales, equipment application, education, IT/PACS, and management.

Ivy Tech's Medical Imaging Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree program includes radiologic technology courses in:
Radiologic technologists must complete an accredited educational program, demonstrate moral fitness, and pass an AART exam. The Medical Imaging AAS program has limited admission.
Students must earn the AAS degree and pass the AART exam to pursue any of the Ivy Tech Medical Imaging certificates.
While Ivy Tech's Medical Imaging program is designed to prepare students for an immediate career, some graduates choose to transfer to a four-year university to pursue a four-year bachelor's degree. Articulated transfer opportunities are available with several Indiana institutions, including Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), IU Kokomo, and the University of Southern Indiana. If interested, students should review these options with their advisor.
The Medical Imaging AAS degree requires 74 credit hours, or seven semesters.
To complete the Medical Imaging AAS degree program, students must complete the following courses:
The Medical Imaging Program offers didactic education through a hybrid distance learning model of virtual instruction and a required on-campus component. General education courses can be taken online, but all program-specific courses are taught in a traditional, in-person format given the hands on nature of the course material. Students should be prepared to be in class during the daytime and are required to provide their own transportation back/forth to clinical sites. Schedules vary based on campus. Reach out to your campus of interest to learn more about meeting times/dates.
Accredited hospitals and clinics provide clinical practice and supplemental instruction. Hospital-based programs offer hospital-transitional programs through Ivy Tech campuses in:
After ARRT certification, graduates may become radiologic technologists who are registered in general radiology. These professionals typically work in hospitals, clinics, and physician offices and in industry roles such as sales, equipment application, education, and management.

Before you begin:
For additional information, review your local campus's information packet:
To learn more about the Health Sciences (and Nursing) application process, watch the below video, read the FAQ, or contact your campus of interest.
Students can select up to three credential types and three campuses on the application. Offers of acceptance are for a specific credential and a specific campus. The offers are determined through eight rounds of auto-selection and six rounds of manual selection.
If you are accepted, you will receive an email from the online application system to your Ivy Tech email account offering you a seat in the program you selected. Offers are emailed beginning within one week of the application close date and continue until program capacity is met or one week before the start of semester classes. Each round of offers begins at 6:00 am and applicants have until 11:59 pm the following day to either accept or reject an offer.
Depending on their rank and offers, a student could potentially receive multiple offers. Once you accept one offer, you are immediately withdrawn from all other offers and you will be contacted by the chair or dean of the program with information about the program orientation date, time, and location.
If a student fails to respond, then the offer expires. If a student rejects an offer three (3) times, the application is removed from the auto-selection application pool but will then be available for manual selection rounds that occur later in the process.
You do have the ability to withdraw your application at any point during the admission cycle. However, once you withdraw your application, you will not be able to apply again until the next application cycle.
If you are accepted into the program—first off, congratulations!—you will be required to attend an orientation session at your local campus during the summer semester prior to beginning classes. An email will be sent following your acceptance with details about the session.
The Medical Imaging program does not maintain a waitlist. Non-admitted applicants can reapply in the next semester’s application cycle. You may also want to meet with your advisor. Advisors can assist students in exploring other programs of interest in Ivy Tech’s School of Health Sciences if they have applied several times and have not been accepted into the program. Ivy Tech offers many programs similar to Medical Imaging that lead to high-demand jobs that may be new to you but fit your passion to help others.
