X Ray Diploma
This department is one of the most important departments in SGNA. The students,
learning Radiography and its related subjects, will graduate as Radiographers.
They should be updated to be able to carry out their profession using recent and
sophisticated imaging machines. To achieve this, the program is designed in a
way that enables the students to cope with the continuous development in the field
of Radiography.
