Radiography and Medical Imaging - M3006

Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours) course develops skills to become a registered radiographer. Radiographers facilitate patient diagnosis and management by using X-rays – including CT scanning, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – to create diagnostic images for analysis and interpretation.

The program prides itself on the exceptional links it creates between the classroom and the clinical workplace. The practical skills you acquire will be reinforced by placements in a wide variety of clinical institutions, ranging from Victorian rural and regional hospitals to metropolitan Melbourne hospitals and private radiology practices.

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.

This is an integrated course in which radiographic physics, imaging technique and methods, radiologic biology and professional skills are closely related and integrated with clinical placements. You'll be instructed by experts in radiography, benefit from a thriving research environment, and have access to general radiography laboratories and the ultrasound skills lab.

You will gain core knowledge and competencies in the following areas:

  • assessing and managing patients
  • general radiography
  • digital subtraction angiography
  • computed tomography
  • general ultrasound
  • magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

The program incorporates clinical placements in each semester. It is characterised by innovative teaching approaches, including a computer-mediated case-based learning program to assist in clinical decision making; a personal learning and assessment system that includes a clinical e-portfolio; a clinical-relevant scenario-based program focusing on cultural, ethical and moral issues; and a simulated learning environment, where students engage with 'avatars' to support clinical training.

The Bachelor of Medical Imaging and Radiography (Honours) is accredited by the Medical Radiation Practice Accreditation Committee, of the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (Ahpra).

Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply for general (full) registration with a protected title of:

  • medical radiation practitioner
  • radiographer
  • diagnostic radiographer OR;
  • medical imaging technologist

from the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (subject to English language requirements).
