The development of medical imaging equipment was a huge step forward in modern medicine. Suddenly – because of ultrasound technology, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, and more – we had accurate, non-invasive ways to diagnose injuries, illnesses, and chronic conditions. It’s no surprise, then, that with the demand for healthcare services rising, so is the need for skilled imaging professionals who can work with physicians and other medical team members to help patients get correct, effective care.

School of Imaging Programs
Casa Loma College offers hands-on, focused career training in three different medical imaging fields:
Diagnostic Medical Sonography Associate Program
In this associate degree program, you will primarily be learning about ultrasound technology, which uses soundwaves to produce images of soft tissues inside the body. This can include anything from cardiac sonography, which monitors the workings of a person’s heart, to OBGYN sonography, which images and monitors the growth of babies in utero.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Associate Program
In our MRI associate degree program, you’ll learn how to operate magnetic resonance imaging scanners, which create strong magnetic fields around patients in order to get detailed, three-dimensional images of specific areas of the body or even the body as a whole. MRI techs are sometimes tasked with administering contrast dye via IV so that images will show up clearly.
Medical Radiography Associate Program
Our radiography associate degree program trains you on an array of medical imaging techniques to give you broad experience within the field. You’ll learn about computed tomography (CT) scans, hard- and soft-tissue X-ray techniques, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, how to use fluoroscopy for contrast, and more.
