BSc Diagnostic Radiography

Diagnostic radiography is the medical science concerned with using various forms of radiation to produce highquality clinical images, which aid in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of injury and disease. Diagnostic radiography is a technology dependent discipline but draws on the basic sciences with medical, biological and physiological sciences alongside application of practical training in a clinical setting. A wide range of sophisticated technological equipment for different imaging modalities are used in diagnostic radiography. They include: X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scanners, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mammography. Diagnostic radiographers (also referred to as Radiologic Technologists and Medical Radiation Technologists) work in hospitals, clinics, medical laboratories and private practice.
