Midland College is offering a collaborative Radiography program with Odessa College, leading to the degree of associate of applied science. Radiographers operate x-ray machines in the diagnosis of disease, and may go on to specialize in CT scanning, MRI or other related fields. Satisfactory completion of the program qualifies the graduate to take the certifying examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and to apply for MRT certification by the Texas Department of State Health Services. This course is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiology Technology.
