The M.Sc. in Medical Imaging is offered by the Department of Clinical Medicine. Students on the M.Sc. pursue a particular strand - Computed Tomography,  Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Nuclear Medicine, or Radiation Safety and Interventional Radiography. The practical clinical experience required in each strand of the programme will be gained in the student’s own department.

 

The Nuclear Medicine strand is designed to give a solid academic base in the understanding of the safe use and management of isotopes, and a high level of practical experience in Nuclear Medicine imaging techniques. The Radiation Safety and Interventional Radiography strand aims to provide a solid academic background in the legislative framework governing radiation protection and a high level of practical experience in clinical Interventional Radiography. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging strand is designed to give a solid academic basis in the understanding of MR imaging, and a high level of practical experience in MRI techniques and in the safe use of MR imaging and associated equipment. The Computed Tomography strand is designed to give a solid academic basis in the understanding of Computed Tomography, and a high level of practical experience in Computed Tomography techniques and in the safe use of Computed Tomography imaging and associated equipment.
