Diagnostic Imaging

Objectifs du programme

The goal of the Diagnostic Imaging program is to form diagnostic imaging technologists. Diagnostic imaging technologists are health sector professionals who are employed by public or private health institutions. They work in dedicated medical imaging departments and services, and also in a variety of other environments, including at patients’ bedsides and in operating rooms. Their role is to produce the best possible images, based on a medical prescription, using ionizing radiation and other energy forms, and to gather data that radiologists and other medical specialists can use to make a diagnosis or produce a treatment plan. Diagnostic imaging technologists play a role in and contribute to the delivery of services to patients.

Diagnostic imaging technologists can work in different areas of the medical imaging field, for adult or pediatric patients: General radiography, Bone densitometry,Mammography, Radioscopy, Angiography, Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance.

To practise their profession, diagnostic imaging technologists must be members of the Ordre des technologues en imagerie médicale, en radio-oncologie et en électrophysiologie médicale du Québec (OTIMROEPMQ).
