Overview
Diploma in Medical Imaging course provides students with a broad knowledge in biophysical and health sciences to enable them to acquire theory and practical know-how in handling radio imaging equipment and procedures. Radiographers are health professionals who facilitate patient diagnosis and management through the creation of medical images using X-rays, Ultrasound, Computerised Tomography (CT), Radionuclide Imaging (RNI) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Diploma in Medical Imaging contains the essential theoretical studies and clinical practice needed to become a qualified Diagnostic Radiographer. Radiographers work in collaboration with Radiologists and other specialist medical practitioners to provide patients with a range of diagnostic examinations.
