Course Summary» Back

This course will prepare graduates to provide safe, quality and excellent Medical Imaging (MI) services to the patients in clinical settings. This is achieved through formal didactic, state-of-the-art clinical experiences that prepare students to be competent diagnostic radiographers, who are patient-care focused, with critical thinking abilities and who will engage in lifelong radiography research.

Course Details» Back

The department runs postgraduate programmes in Medical Imaging that will encompass all the major modalities of MI sciences to meet national and international demands. The postgraduate programmes are designed to produce advanced diagnostic and therapeutic radiography practitioners who can confidently and competently apply the science and art of medical imaging to help improve patient management. It is anticipated that the programmes will provide medical imaging practitioners with a deeper and an advanced understanding of the scientific principles, practical application and understanding of scientific investigation underlying the major imaging modalities used in radiography. The programmes will also equip practitioners with the skills needed to conduct rigorous scientific research in MI.
