About the Department

The Medical Imaging Department (Diagnostic and Therapeutic) was established at the beginning of the academic year 2021-2022 due to the labor market's need for such specialties, as this field is considered one of the few specialties in medical institutions in Libya. Given the urgent need in the labor market for the outputs of this department, the College of Medical Technology at Nalut University sought to establish this department, and approval was granted by the administration of Nalut University. Diagnostic imaging and its applications are among the most important pillars in any healthcare facility concerned with providing medical care services and using imaging in treatment. Since the discovery of X-rays on November 8, 1895, imaging and its technologies have undergone rapid developments, and the field of imaging has branched out to include multiple applications and techniques. Many scientists hope to achieve good results from the use of imaging in treatment, and good results have been reached in the therapeutic use of imaging for cancer patients. Therefore, this specialty is considered one with a bright future in serving humanity.
