Radiologic Technology

Dunwoody’s Radiologic Technology Program

The Radiologic Technology program at Dunwoody prepares students to enter the healthcare industry and become employers’ first choice as radiologic technologists. Dunwoody’s small class environment provides students with more direct patient work during clinical rotations than any other radiologic technologies program in the Twin Cities.

Master the latest in imaging technologies, including digital X-rays and CT scans, and work in both classroom and lab settings. Learn to create images of internal organs, bones, and tissues that are used to diagnose medical problems.

Dunwoody has partnerships with more than 10 hospitals and clinics in the Twin Cities, which will provide you with a variety of clinical experiences. You will complete rotations in a variety of clinical settings, working directly with patients and physicians. All students complete a rotation at North Memorial Hospital, where they gain experience with fluoro imaging and Emergency Room imaging procedures.

Dunwoody’s program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology, and instructors are industry certified.
