Objective

Department of Radiological Science is to nurture creative researchers and best radiological scientists who lead the cutting-edge radiological medical technology according to the university’s vision for the department, specialization, information-oriented and globalization. The disivion was established in 2002 to nurture quality human resources who have expert knowledge to adapt to the changes in the medical environment, information literacy required in the digital era and global mind. The first four-year program in Korea has the pride as the pioneer in this field and all the students are dedicated to the education and research with the frontier spirit. Much broader and more various social participation will be promoted through establishment of new infrastructure for the education of medical radiological science and creation of new paradigm.

Sub-major and courses

The Department of Radiological Science provides radiological science education and research including academic theory and experiments and clinical demonstrations for the effective use and management of radiation and the development of cutting-edge medical image equipment such as radiation diagnosis and treatment through state-of-the-art equipment, nuclear medicine test, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance images(MRI), picture achieving and communication system (PACS). For the first two years, students take general electives and pre-majors and for the next two years, majors and experimentations to learn how to apply latest radiation technologies to the actual work.
