The Medical Imaging Technologist (MIT) or (MRT) tends to specialize according to patients require diagnostic imaging using either ionizing or non-ionizing radiation. The MIT is the only expert in the production of diagnostic images. The MIT is the expert in integrating seven areas of key importance in the imaging. The seven areas include patient care, use of technology, optimization of dose, clinical responsibility, organization, quality assurance, and education and training. The role of the MIT in each of these areas is outlined.

Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.

As a discipline and in its widest sense, it is part of biological imaging and incorporates radiology which uses the imaging technologies of X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, CT Scan, medical ultrasound, endoscopy imaging, fluoroscopy, Angiography, nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques as positron emission tomography. Technologist Clinical Role of Imaging Technologist (MRT): Imaging Technologist, Medical Radiological Technologist / Scientist (nomenclature varies from place to place yet nature of job/responsibility remains same) is the only recognized expert in broad rang of the production of medical diagnostic images by using ionizing or non-ionizing radiations. Radiological Technologists / Scientist organizes many of the procedures, which are Undertaken in Radiology/Medical Imaging Departments. They execute radiographic procedures, such as CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Neuclear Medicine…
