Introduction

The course entails training of students in both, theoretical and practical aspects of x-ray technology. The student would be taught the various aspects of radiation physics, x-rays, patient positioning, film processing & development, CT scan, C-arm and diagnostic nuclear medicine. On completion of the course, the student would be able to perform as an x-ray technologist in all aspects of diagnostic radiology in patient care.

Training is imparted at Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences, and affiliate hospitals. Students will have to take monthly internal assessment exams and annual university exams. Periodic tests are also conducted on completion of various chapters. Practical training is imparted in all branches of radiology by rotation.

• SSLC (or equivalent) or PUC (or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry Biology).

• Students with an SSLC undergo a 3-year programme while those who have passed PUC undergo a 2-year programme.

• Students who have not cleared their PUC exams will also undergo a 3-year training programme.

Application forms are issued at the beginning of the academic year (May/June) each year and are available at Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences. Candidates will be screened and selected after an interview.

Note: Students who join the 3-year programme will undergo theory and practical classes in Physics, Chemistry Biology and English. All these subjects are at the standard of PUC or equivalent.
