Overview

The Department of Radiology at the Faculty of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences is dedicated to advancing the scientific and clinical frontiers of diagnostic and interventional medical imaging. Utilizing penetrating electromagnetic energy, acoustic waves, and radiofrequency signals, our discipline visualizes internal anatomical structures and physiological processes. Our programs cultivate highly trained radiologic technologists capable of operating complex imaging modalities, executing diagnostic protocols, and ensuring rigorous radiological safety standards.

History and Evolution

Rooted in classic roentgenology and physical sciences, the radiology education program has continuously adapted to rapid technological innovations in medical physics and diagnostics. From conventional planar radiography to advanced cross-sectional modalities—such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Diagnostic Ultrasound—the department has expanded its clinical teaching partnerships across MUMS-affiliated educational hospitals to offer comprehensive clinical immersion.
