Program Overview

Medical Imaging Major

Undergraduate major

Overview

Medical imaging professionals work with sophisticated diagnostic imaging modalities – including digital radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography and angiography equipment.

They produce images that are used to inform medical diagnoses, advise on treatments or illnesses, monitor patient progress or provide medical screenings.

To study this specialisation, you will need to apply for the Bachelor of Science (Medical Radiation Science).

This major sits within our Bachelor of Science (Medical Radiation Science).

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
