Radiology technology programs in Mississippi confer associate degrees.
Radiology technicians use X-rays to create images of the inside of the human body, which help doctors to diagnose and treat medical problems. Mississippi has a few schools with radiology technology programs that confer associate degrees. These programs have similar general admission requirements, can be completed within two years and allow graduates to sit for the national certification exam.
