About the program

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologists work with physicians, nurses and other medical professionals to provide accurate diagnostic images using non-invasive technology. MRI technologists operate advanced medical equipment that employs strong magnetic fields and radio waves to capture detailed images of the body without using harmful radiation.

NAIT’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 1st Discipline program will provide you with the skills and experience needed to enter this rewarding and in-demand field. You’ll train with cutting-edge MRI simulation software, an MRI extremity scanner, IV arms and other industry-standard tools, preparing you to conduct real-world MRI exams and perform image analysis with confidence. After graduation, you will be eligible to write the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists and American Registry of Radiologic Technologists MRI national certification exams. This certification qualifies you to work across Canada and the United States, and it allows MRI technologists to apply for registration with provincial regulatory bodies such as the Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists.
