We are the largest MR facility in the Southern Hemisphere with a multitude
of imaging equipment, including 2 x 1.5T Siemens Sonatas, 1 x 2T Bruker and
1 x 4T Siemens/Bruker whole body systems, and a number of high field small
bore systems. Our staff include radiographers, physicists, medical doctors,
neurologists, neuropsychologist, nurses and a myriad of Ph.D. and Masters
students.
We have developed a series of post graduate courses aimed at radiographers
wanting a formal qualification in MRI, all delivered electronically, with no
on campus component.
Grad Certificate in Mag Res Tech (MRT): year one
Post grad diploma in MRT: year two
Master of MRT: year three
We attract students from around the globe, and our students network very
well via our on line (weekly) tutorials and group study projects.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Distance
Education Certificate:
This program is designed to
provide practicing technologists with the knowledge, skills and competence
necessary to become practicing Magnetic Resonance Imaging technologists. It
also serves to prepare the technologists to write a National Certification
exam set by the
Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT).
Students wishing to complete the MR program must declare their intention
after successful completion of MIMG 7200. Student must then complete the two
remaining MRI courses (MIMG 7201 and MIMG 7202), and the clinical practicum
(MIMG 6200) within 18 months of finishing MRI 7200. Students may take the 4
sectional anatomy courses at any time before or after declaring their
intention to complete the MR program (in accordance with BCIT policy).
As of January 2005 all students beginning the MRI Program will now have to
complete a 4 month practicum (MIMG 6200).

The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences
An advanced
diploma program for qualified technologists in radiography, nuclear
medicine, radiation therapy or ultrasound.
We are currently
the only Canadian Medical Association (CMA) Accredited Programme in Canada.
Our part-time programme involves coming to the school every other weekend
(Friday evening and Saturday) for 15 months of didactic instruction. The
Distance Education programme involves on-line instruction and class
interaction in a specially developed 'e-classroom' for 15 months of didactic
instruction. Because of the part-time nature of these programmes, students
can continue working in their regular full-time jobs while studying the
didactic component. The 3 month clinical component which finalizes the
programme is a full-time practicum.
We accept 20-25 students per class. Part-time courses begin in January.
Distance courses begin in May.
International students have graduated through our Distance Education
programme.

Self Study
Registry Review
Medical Imaging Consultants, Inc., of West Paterson, NJ
We are delighted to offer the only comprehensive, professional home study
review courses available in MRI and CT. The programs are ideal for
technologists preparing for the ARRT registry exams. We stand behind these
programs by guaranteeing that technologists who successfully complete either
program will pass the ARRT exam or receive a complete tuition refund. These
programs have received strong institutional endorsements by equipment
manufacturers contrast media industries as well as professional
organizations.
The MR Registry Review Program consists of 12 modular chapters, each
containing 20-35 pages of descriptive text, images, illustrations and
summaries which strictly adhere to the Content Specifications for the
Advanced Level Exam in MRI published by the ARRT. In addition, each module
concludes with a thought-provoking 40 question quiz. The program begins with
a basic review of the physics of MRI and then goes on to cover spatial
localization, image reconstruction, instrumentation, advanced imaging
methods including fast imaging techniques and MR angiography, the patient
exam, essential anatomy, imaging strategies, safety and image artifacts.
Technologists can earn up to 24 Category A Continuing Education credits in
this program. The entire course requires only 20 hours of study time.
The CT Registry Review Program consists of 8 modules, each containing 25-45
pages. The CT program allows technologists to earn up to 16 Category A
credits and requires 14 hours of study time. The program is structured and
is conducted in the same manner as our MRI review course.
After completing each quiz, the answer sheet is returned to Medical Imaging
Consultants for confidential grading. In response, the student receives
customized feedback on the complete results of each quiz. Students also
receive Study Guidelines which offer detailed explanations to the answers of
every quiz question and which use the quiz results to direct the student to
areas within the program which require further study. Medical Imaging
Consultants will automatically register the credits you earn from these
programs with the ASRT if you are enrolled in the ASRT's ECE program.
The primary advantages of these homestudy programs are that students can
study at their own pace and convenience, they receive detailed feedback on
the progress of their study efforts, they are not required to take leave
from work or use up vacation or weekend time, and the programs do not
include any irrelevant or highly technical information - they only present
information relevant to the ARRT exam. Furthermore, the complete program
tuition can be less than the fee for a 2-day seminar program and requires no
additional funds for travel, hotel and meal expenses normally associated
with traditional seminar programs.
Our programs have received peer review by physicians and technologists, have
received ASRT Category A accreditation and have been developed by expert
educators and graphic designers to give you the most professional program
available in MRI and CT.
We offer discounted tuition rates to technologists taking the next
ARRT exam or who enroll in groups of 2 or more. To receive your free
detailed information kit call Philip A. Femano, Ph.D. at 800-589-5685, or
send him mail at drphil@aol.com.
