Overview

Radiographers are responsible for producing high-quality diagnostic medical images to assist doctors in diagnosing or monitoring a patient's injury or illness. In this course you will develop the expert skills to become a radiographer, enabling patient diagnosis and management by using X-rays - including general X-Ray, fluoroscopy, interventional imaging, CT scanning,  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (please note ultrasound generally requires post-graduate study)- to create diagnostic images for analysis and interpretation.

The program integrates classroom and clinical workplace learning and is characterised by innovative teaching approaches, including a computer-mediated case-based learning program to assist in clinical decision making and learning in a simulated learning environment. Practical skills are reinforced in placements in clinical institutions from Victorian rural and regional hospitals, metropolitan Melbourne hospitals and private radiology practices.
