The Medical Radiation Technology program is offered over three academic years (7 levels). Fanshawe College provides the theoretical knowledge along with an extensive simulation component of the program while a number of participating hospitals across Southwestern Ontario offer practical instruction and clinical experience. The Radiological technologist uses x-ray radiation to create images of the tissues, organs, bones and vessels that make up the human body. Through a combination of classroom lectures, laboratory simulation, and clinical education, students learn to operate sophisticated x-ray equipment, and advanced computer systems to produce diagnostic images of human anatomy, position patients for x-ray procedures, practice radiation safety and deliver quality patient care.

The graduate technologist uses ionizing radiation under the direction of a radiologist to produce images that assist in the diagnosis of disease or traumatic conditions. The C.A.M.R.T. certificate qualifies the technologist to work in a wide range of hospitals, medical clinics, private radiologist's offices and in industry.
