Medical Imaging Management (MIM)
Service organization, clinical examinations, and engineering — a five-day intensive program with international and Rwandan faculty.
About the Training
The Medical Imaging Management (MIM) training brings together the clinical, organizational, and engineering dimensions and updates them on modern radiology. Designed for biomedical engineers, radiology service managers, and health-sector decision makers, the training covered the full life cycle of medical imaging systems — from physical and image acquisition principles as well as image analysis. It also covered the radiology department organization and patient pathways, procurement, maintenance, and the technologies shaping the future of imaging.
A five-day intensive program combining expert-led courses, real case studies, a hospital site visit, and a final assessment of acquired knowledge and know-how.
