Course summary
As a Diagnostic Radiographer you will use sophisticated imaging technology and a range of specialist modalities including digital radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, radionuclide imaging and ultrasound. Your key role will be to provide high quality diagnostic images to aid in the detection, monitoring and management of the patient's illness.
