The Radiologic Sciences programs are designed to provide students with enhanced career opportunities in radiology as administrators, educators, and advanced imaging specialists. The curriculum provides a broad education in liberal arts and basic sciences and an in-depth study in radiologic sciences. Educational opportunities in diagnostic imaging and advanced imaging modalities such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vascular radiography, computed tomography (CT), radiology administration, ultrasound, and radiation therapy are offered. The department has four energized radiographic laboratories equipped with phantoms, imaging accessories, and traditional x-ray equipment for student learning experiences. A fifth laboratory offers opportunity to practice radiographic equipment manipulation. The University of South Alabama has a state-of-the-art simulation lab where students learn, practice, and demonstrate a number of patient care skills prior to actually performing those in the patient care environment.
