Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an advanced level specialty imaging procedure. MRI uses the interaction of magnetic fields and radio waves with tissues to produce a cross-sectional image of the body part being scanned. The growth of Magnetic Resonance Imaging has expanded and it is used sometimes to complement computed tomography scans. This modality can be used to provide anatomic and physiologic information without the use of ionizing radiation.

The program is designed to include both online and clinical applications to prepare students to produce images for diagnostic purposes. The certificate courses are sequenced so the registered radiographer can take the twenty-three credit hour courses and obtain knowledge of basic magnetic resonance imaging and clinical applications. Upon completion of the program the student will be prepared to sit for the ARRT advanced registry in magnetic resonance imaging. The didactic courses will be taught online and whenever possible, clinical sites near the student's location will be used for the competency-based clinical applications courses.
