What is medical imaging science?
Medical imaging is the science of creating images of human tissue, bones, organs and vessels using equipment ranging from X-ray machines to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and molecular imaging.
Practitioners work closely with radiologists and medical practitioners by providing meaningful medical images to enable an accurate diagnosis of a patient's condition.
They also work closely with cardiologists in imaging heart disease, with surgeons during a range of operations, and with emergency doctors in the emergency room.
Career opportunities
The rapid evolution of medical imaging technology calls for expert practitioners to implement optimised imaging techniques to improve patient outcomes.
Our graduates go on to work in the hospital system and private practice both in Australia and overseas, providing images and data for the diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease.
For practitioners looking to specialise and become an expert in their field, our flexible online courses for practitioners provide an opportunity for advancement in:
- computed tomography
- magnetic resonance imaging
- breast imaging
- hybrid imaging
- research.
