Outline

Outline

Medical Imaging graduates work with a range of sophisticated diagnostic imaging modalities including computed and digital radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography and angiography equipment. They produce images which are used to confirm or exclude a medical diagnosis, to advise on a treatment or illness, monitor patient progress, or provide medical screening. A genuine interest in managing a wide range of patients and their needs is an important function of the professional.

This major sits within the degree Bachelor of Science (Medical Radiation Science). To apply for this major, you will apply for the Bachelor of Science (Medical Radiation Science).

Please refer to the handbook for additional course overview information.

What you'll learn

  • apply discipline knowledge to undertake medical imaging procedures in a safe and effective manner; develop clinical practices using evidence-based research
  • think critically and reflectively about factors for safe and effective patient outcome delivery including clinical information, physical parameters, and patient, equipment and environmental conditions
  • apply an inquiring approach to the management of patients and the assessment of medical imaging procedure requirements and outcomes through identification, access, evaluation and synthesis of information from credible sources
  • communicate effectively and appropriately with different workplace, healthcare and patient groups, taking into account age, health condition and socio-cultural background
  • use equipment/instrumentation knowledge and available clinical information to assess the medical imaging procedure required to appropriately address the clinical challenge/question, recognising the advantages and limitations of available equipment/instrumentation to provide a safe and effective patient outcome
  • assess and critically evaluate information independently to remain informed and advance practice
  • demonstrate cognisance of current international standards and practices within the profession and apply these clinically
  • manage patient care in a manner that promotes respect for individuals, is socio-culturally sensitive and ethically appropriate
  • work effectively, ethically and cognisant of medico-legal boundaries within the interprofessional healthcare team; take responsibility for own actions
