Saint Louis University’s Doisy College of Health Sciences offers a Master of Science in molecular imaging and therapeutics. Students commonly have a background in imaging or radiologic science and want to pursue a new area of study for educational and research purposes.
SLU’s graduate degree program in molecular imaging and therapeutics is typically earned
in 12 to 15 months. Our rigorous curriculum combines a collaborative research component
with individual areas of imaging and therapeutic sciences. SLU’s MIT program is one
of the only programs of its kind nationwide.
The program is offered through Doisy College of Health Sciences and allows students to select from a variety of tracks: magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine technology and radiation therapy. The chosen track must be different than the student's previous imaging/radiologic science discipline.
SLU’s molecular imaging and therapeutics program includes a required leadership and advanced scholarly component. You will present material in each course that combines your previous imaging/radiologic science discipline and your new area of study. The master’s seminars I, II and III are sequentially in the fall, spring and then the summer. Working under the direction of a scholarly mentor, you will produce a project suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal or scholarly equivalent.
In SLU’s molecular imaging and therapeutics master’s program, you will choose from three concentration options: magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine technology and radiation therapy. The option you choose must be different than your previous imaging/radiologic science discipline. No matter which you choose you will:
Graduates of this program are extremely valuable to imaging/radiation oncology departments and medical corporations because current and developing technology require increasing knowledge of magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and other radiologic and imaging disciplines in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Upon completion of SLU’s MIT master’s program, you will be able to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists national certification exam in your chosen imaging discipline. You will also have significant technical and clinical expertise in multiple imaging specialties.
Saint Louis University takes pride in being one of Barron's Best Buys in College Education
and Kiplinger's Best Values in Private Colleges.
