About the Department

About the Department
The Department of Radiology Technology at the University of Bilad Alrafdain was established in 2017 and aims to graduate technical personnel specialized in radiological imaging. The department offers an educational program that leads to a bachelor's degree in radiology technology. The program prepares students to work on various imaging methods, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine (NM), ultrasound (US), and digital imaging systems that are gradually replacing traditional films worldwide. Graduates of the department may work in hospitals, clinics, education, research, and industrial fields.
