An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) allows doctors to safely see inside the body to diagnose and identify possible medical conditions that are not easily seen through other types of imaging procedures and without the use of ionizing radiation, as in X-rays and CT scans.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a powerful diagnostic tool that, in many cases, renders answers that no other imaging test can provide. Used in conjunction with CT (Computed Tomography) imaging or on its own, PET is a non-invasive procedure that helps physicians in their diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases.

A CT (Computed Tomography) scan, also known as a computer axial tomography (CAT) scan, is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted X-rays with the aid of a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images of the inside of the body, often used for diagnosing trauma, bone and joint problems, and finding masses and internal bleeding.

X-ray examinations are among the most widely used medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat a range of medical conditions. InVision's advanced digital X-ray equipment enables faster scan processing and requires less radiation than conventional X-ray (radiography) machines.

Diagnostic Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that utilizes high frequency sound waves to create internal images of the body. These images can then be used for diagnosing and treating diseases and symptoms such as pain, infection, and swelling.

Kapi‘olani Community College offers the only two-year Associate in Science degree in Radiologic Technology for the State of Hawai’i. The Radiologic Technology (RAD) Program curriculum includes classroom studies, hands-on exercises in well-equipped laboratories, and intensive supervised clinical practice in affiliated hospitals. This combination of subject matter and clinical experience is designed to prepare program graduates for safe operation of x-ray equipment in diagnostic imaging settings under the supervision of a radiologist.

Radiologic technologists are medical personnel who perform diagnostic imaging examinations or administer radiation therapy treatments. They are educated in anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques, equipment protocols, radiation safety, and basic patient care. Radiologic technologists may practice general radiography, or specialize in a specific imaging technique such as bone densitometry, cardiovascular-interventional radiology, computed tomography, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, or sonography. Technologists specializing in radiation therapy or medical dosimetry are involved in the treatment of cancer with high doses of radiation. Radiologic technologists work closely with radiologists, specialist physicians who interpret medical images to diagnose or treat diseases and injuries. Technologists may work in hospitals, clinics, or in private physician offices. Their duties may also include record-keeping, ordering and/or stocking supplies, and performing quality control activities to assure proper imaging equipment function.

Satisfactory completion of this A.S. degree program qualifies graduates to take the credentialing examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), which is accepted by the Hawai‘i Board of Radiologic Technology for state licensure.
