with both state of the art and conventional technology permit optimum use by students
and provide learning opportunities not available in the classroom environment.
In addition to the on-campus facilities, students rotate through multiple clinical
sites in the area.听 These clinical sites utilize the latest technology in diagnostic
radiography equipment.听 Machines used in the different specialty areas, such as Computed
Tomography (CT) and MRI for example,听 are also state of the art.听 Every student has
the opportunity to rotate through these specialty areas.听 This experience helps students
decided if they want to further their education to become certified in a particular
