An informal graduation tea was held Friday, August
18, 2006 at Marquette General Hospital to celebrate the completion
of the two-year program in Radiography for the Class of 2006.
The MGHS School of Radiography is a six-semester,
two-year program divided into theory and clinical experience components.
Academic courses are completed at Marquette General and Northern
Michigan University.
The curriculum includes essential courses in anatomy,
physiology, pathology, radiation biology and protection, radiation
physics, patient care, anatomy and procedures, diagnostic imaging
equipment, imaging processes and computer operation.
A radiographer or diagnostic imager is a health
care professional who utilizes ionizing radiation to produce images
of the body’s internal structures. A radiologist then views
these images for diagnosis of disease or injury.
The MGHS School of Radiography is accredited with
the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.
