FSc Radiology Technology
FSc Radiology Technology — RCCS Rawalpindi
FSc Radiology Technology is a 2-year FBISE-affiliated intermediate program at RCCS Rawalpindi teaching radiographic positioning, X-ray physics, CT/MRI basics, radiation protection, and digital imaging (CR/DR). Open to Matric-pass students (any group) with no age limit, it prepares graduates for X-ray Technician, Radiographer, and CT/MRI Assistant roles in hospitals and diagnostic centers, and qualifies them for BS Medical Imaging Technology (MIT) (4-year) programs at RMU, UCHS, KEMU, SZABMU, Ziauddin, Shifa, and other HEC-recognized universities.
- Duration: 2 Years (Full-time)
- Eligibility: Matric Pass (Any Group)
- Affiliating Body: FBISE, Islamabad
- Level: Equivalent to FSc (Intermediate)
- Age Limit: None
- Campus: Saddar, Rawalpindi (Murree Road)
- Clinical Training: [CLINICAL_HOURS_RADIO] Hours
What is FSc Radiology Technology?
Radiology Technology is the science of seeing inside the body without cutting it open. FSc Radiology Technology at RCCS teaches you to position patients for every standard X-ray view (chest, abdomen, extremities, skull, spine), operate fixed and mobile X-ray units, understand radiation physics and protection (ALARA), process images on computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR) systems, and assist in CT and MRI suites. You also learn contrast studies (IVU, barium swallow/meal/enema, angiography basics) and radiation safety monitoring (TLD badges, area surveys).
This is a technician/radiographer qualification — you work under a radiologist. But it is also the universal entry pathway to BS Medical Imaging Technology (MIT) (4-year), where you advance to senior radiographer, CT/MRI specialist, interventional radiology technologist, or imaging department manager.
Who Should Apply?
- Matric-pass students fascinated by physics, anatomy, and technology-driven patient care
- Students wanting a hands-on hospital role in 2 years with clear specialization ladders (CT, MRI, Angio, Mammography)
- Those targeting BS MIT — this FSc covers Year 1–2 radiographic physics, positioning, and radiation protection
- No age limit — career changers welcome
