Medical radiations is a rapidly advancing healthcare discipline involving the application of ionising and non-ionising radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease.

 

Medical radiations practitioners are allied health professionals who use radiation to provide diagnostic examinations, radiation therapy treatment, functional imaging and supportive care for people in our community. They are highly skilled and patient-centred healthcare professionals.

 

There are three divisions of practice for medical radiations practitioners, all with different roles and responsibilities:

• medical imaging
• nuclear medicine (RMIT is the only Victorian university to offer this degree)
• radiation therapy.

 

You will enrol directly into one of the three specialised streams, choosing one that best aligns with how you would like to work in the field of medical radiations.
