Most hospital patients will not receive treatment without some form of diagnostic assessment. Computer or digital radiography equipment uses plain imaging to assess the chest and skeleton. Specialist modalities such as ultrasound, computerised tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine help diagnose surgical, medical or vascular conditions, and complex injuries. To produce and interpret these diagnostic images, radiographers need specialist knowledge in radiation science, technology, anatomy, physiology and pathology.
This course is accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and you can register with these on graduation. You will study the science that underpins effective diagnosis and develop strong inter-professional and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to operate highly specialised equipment. You will learn in state-of-the-art technological facilities where you can observe and practice diagnostic procedures. This learning is also applied in a range of healthcare environments through a series of clinical work placements. |
