The B.S. in Advanced Medical Imaging Technology degree program is the only four-year nuclear medicine program in the Pittsburgh area, and prepares students to become dual-certified imaging technologists. Hospital systems increasingly want professionals who are credentialed in multiple imaging techniques, rather than a collection of professionals each working on a single method.

Unlike other programs of study that prepare students to be credentialed in only one kind of imaging, the Advanced Medical Imaging Technology program at RMU offers a bachelor's of science degree with nuclear medicine technology as the primary pathway, and secondary pathways to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). The four-year program in Advanced Medical Imaging includes coursework required for all of these certifications, and faculty members will work with students to help them fulfill clinical requirements.

Students are prepared to sit for the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) or American Registry of Radiological Technologists (ARRT) certification exam. Graduates go on to work in in hospitals, physician offices, and medical and diagnostic laboratories. Jobs include nuclear medicine technologist, MRI technologist, and CT technologist.

The Bachelor of Science in Advanced Medical Imaging Technology is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology. Graduate achievement data is an indicator of program effectiveness, demonstrating the extent to which a program achieves its goals.
