What distinguishes this program is that it combines diagnosis and treatment, as it is interested in ‎both these techniques, as this specialization is interested in both the practical and theoretical ‎aspects.
This program is in line with the vision of Palestine Technical University - Kadoorie, as it ‎has been interested and continues to be interested in developing technology techniques in various ‎fields, which is an integral part of this program.‎

Therefore, by offering this program, the student will learn how to use medical equipment in order ‎to prepare, implement, and process visual imaging research and treatment. He will be trained as a ‎professional link between technology, safety, and patient care.
The program covers how the ‎human body works, the examination you can perform when you present a clinical case, what ‎equipment you should use for diagnosis or treatment, and how these devices work. He will also ‎learn the effects of radiation and radioactivity on the human body and how you can protect ‎yourself and your patient from these effects.‎

This degree provides future graduates with the competence to be highly knowledgeable in ‎ionizing radiation protection, dosimetry and quality control.‎
These specialists are able to perform functions in all areas of medical imaging and nuclear ‎medicine, such as conventional radiology, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ‎mammography, bone measurement, scintigraphy, positron emission tomography and SPECT ‎imaging.‎

Thus, they participate in a multidisciplinary team in identifying, evaluating and monitoring ‎various diseases (such as tumors, infectious and/or degenerative diseases).‎

The Bachelor's degree in Medical Imaging and Diagnostic Radiology is considered one of the ‎basic specialties for the initial and final diagnosis of patients and their follow-up during the ‎incubation period of various diseases. Nuclear medicine and radiotherapy devices contain various ‎and multiple devices that have greatly contributed to the treatment of many diseases and the ‎diagnosis of intractable diseases that were not evident in other medical imaging devices.‎

Graduates of Medical Imaging and Diagnostic Radiology work as specialists in the healthcare ‎sector. Graduates of this specialization are interested in nuclear medicine techniques, radiation ‎therapy, or diagnostic radiology.
Medical imaging and diagnostic radiology are known for their ‎rapidly evolving healthcare system that includes the use of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation to ‎diagnose and treat injuries and diseases.‎
‎From this standpoint, graduates of this specialization will be able to handle with these paths with ‎high professionalism‏.‏

The general objectives of the program‏:‏
• Providing optimal patient care through a strong scientific environment.‎
• Providing radiological diagnostic services in subspecialties.‎
• Providing high-quality imaging and therapeutic procedures.‎
• Advancing education and applied scientific research.‎
• Graduating specialists in the fields of radiology who possess the knowledge, skills and ‎competence to achieve excellent professional performance, especially within the scope of ‎activities carried out in the various fields of imaging and treatment of radiology, nuclear ‎medicine and radiation therapy. Students learn how to use their skills to make their ‎communities and institutions a better place.‎

The specific objectives of the program‏:‏
• Able to use a variety of medical equipment such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds, ‎radiographers assist in the diagnosis and care of patients. This degree combines knowledge of ‎physical and biomedical sciences with technical expertise and patient care.‎
• Mastering the use of various nuclear medicine techniques‏:‏‎ Common nuclear medicine ‎applications include cardiac stress tests to analyze heart function, bone scans for bone ‎injuries, lung scans for blood clots, and other tests. These tests are performed using various ‎devices such as positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computerized ‎tomography, echocardiogram, doppler echocardiograms, and bone scans.‎
• Able to deal with different methods of radiation therapy and knowledge of how they ‎occur: Radiation therapy is one of the main treatment options for patients diagnosed with ‎cancer and contributes to high rates of cancer cure as well as high survival rates.‎
Radiation therapists design treatment plans to deliver radiation to patients, and combine ‎knowledge of physical and biomedical sciences in order to design and verify treatment plans.‎
• ‏ ‏Able to calibrate the amount of radiation dose: Radiation doses various according to the ‎multiple needs and medical purposes, so it is considered one of the basics of the specialty to ‎know how to use them and their effect.‎
Use them by producing medical images with high quality and resolution. Their effects ‎through radiation protection for the worker and the patient by using as low as reasonably ‎achievable of dose while obtaining the best image.‎

The Faculty of Applied Sciences qualifies graduates in the field of medical imaging and ‎diagnostic radiology to work in medical hospitals and centers in the following fields:‎
• Plain X-ray and panoramic dental radiographer.‎
• Contrast media examinations, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging ‎radiographer.‎
• Ultrasound and vascular catheterization radiographer specialist.‎
• Nuclear medicine radiographer on positron emission tomography, SPECT, bone scanning ‎devices.‎
• Therapeutic radiographer specialist.‎
• Radiographer to radiation device quality control and radiation hazards prevention.‎

• Tulkarem.
