The event is celebrated each year during the week of Nov. NRTW was created by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists in 1979. As we celebrate NRTW, we take a moment to relish in the awe of our profession and continue our great work!” The essential work of imaging professionals since 1895 Across disciplines, collaborative research with engineering, biology, physics and beyond is increasingly more common and leading to improved outcomes for our patients. The speed, resolution and sensitivity of our imaging methods continue to grow exponentially. Applications for the Spring 2022 semester are currently being accepted until December 1, 2021.Īs Boise State Radiologic Sciences Professor Leslie Kendrick explains, “It has never been more exciting to be part of the field of diagnostic imaging sciences. You can complete your degree in as few as 12 months for only $395 per credit. The Online Bachelor of Science in Imaging Science (BSIS) is a flexible, affordable option with no in-person classroom or clinical requirements. Jeremy Kovach, Imaging Sciences Online Graduate Online Imaging Sciences at Boise State To recognize this essential work, we are celebrating National Radiologic Technology Week (NRTW) by sharing two student stories from Boise State’s Online Imaging Sciences Program:ĭave LaGuardia, Imaging Sciences Online Graduate

Providing patients with safe medical imaging examinations and radiation therapy treatments is the prime goal for the nation’s radiologic technologists.
