Course summary

Diagnostic Radiography (or Medical Imaging) is the practice of using various forms of radiation to produce high-quality images which aid in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of injury or disease. It is a technology-dependent discipline, which has patient care as its main concern. Historically, radiographers primarily used X-rays. With advances in technology, radiography also embraces techniques such as computed tomography (CT scanning), ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine. During your course you will have the opportunity to participate in all of these techniques, and you may then decide to specialise in one or more of these areas once you are qualified. Professional accreditation This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the statutory regulatory body for allied health professionals. By the end of your studies you will meet the professional educational standards which confers eligibility to apply for registration with the HCPC. The course is also approved by the Society of Radiographers, and during your course of study you will be able to join the Society as a student member.
