The major courses of medical imaging technology mainly include: sectional anatomy (describing the structure of each level according to the coronal, sagittal and axial positions of ct slices), medical imaging equipment (introducing the principles of radiation, ultrasound, magnetic vibration and other equipment), medical imaging inspection technology (mainly shooting parameters such as projection orientation and patient position) and medical imaging diagnosis (generally divided into human body systems). Each hospital will have its own several different subjects, which are similar. Medical imaging technology is a new subject in the field of medical diagnosis, which has been widely used in scientific research and has attracted people's attention. This major has a good employment prospect. After graduation, students majoring in medical imaging can engage in medical imaging diagnosis, interventional radiology and medical imaging technology in medical and health units. This major trains senior medical professionals who have the basic theoretical knowledge and ability of basic medicine, clinical medicine and modern medical imaging, and can engage in medical imaging diagnosis, interventional radiology and medical imaging technology in medical and health units.
