This Bachelor of Science - Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of only two programs of its kind in the country. SLU's MRI program contains a strong science curriculum that prepares students for immediate job placement as well as graduate study.

Magnetic resonance imaging is a medical imaging technique that uses a large magnet and radio waves to create clear pictures of internal body structures. MRI provides excellent contrast between the different soft tissues of the body and is especially useful in imaging the brain, spine, joints, muscles, and other structures. The superior resolution of the images and advancing technology are rapidly increasing the variety of exams an MRI technologist will perform.

MRI technologists are educated and trained to work with patients and other health care team members to obtain high-quality images safely and effectively. MRI offers procedures that are helpful to a broad span of medical specialties. These specialties include neurology, sports medicine, cardiology, pediatrics, and more.
