The school you talked about in Ontario is expensive because it gets you ready for the registry exam faster (15 months vs 2 years). We have a similar school here in Seattle that gets you through the Rad Tech program much faster but it costs a lot more. These schools charge more because they don't accept students based on their grades, just if they can pay or not. Whereas my school you had to be accepted with good grades, experience, and medical background. So you have to choose either take the Rad Tech route or the Ontario school and pay out of pocket. Either way, I don't think you can just take MRI classes. You first have to be a Radiologic Technolgist and then go on to MRI, not the other way around.
