Course summary

Radiography is the science involving the controlled use of radiation for the production of internal images of an object.

Diagnostic Medical Imaging is the science involving the controlled use of radiation for the production of images to assist in the diagnosis and subsequent management of disease and injury.

Industrial radiography uses ionizing radiation to inspect materials and components to locate and quantify objects, defects and degradation in material properties that could lead to the failure of engineering structures.

The Graduate Certificate in Radiography is designed for graduates holding a bachelor degree in either health, medicine, science or engineering, who would like to develop basic knowledge in medical or industrial radiation imaging. Previous completion of some university level physics mathematics is an advantage.

What you will study

Students will study subjects related to the underlying core principles essential in radiography. Subjects will provide knowledge of an understanding of medical and industrial imaging, radiobiology and radiation protection, ethics and professionalism, as well as basic anatomy and physiology.

This degree

The Graduate Certificate in Radiography provides a foundation for further studies in Radiography. After further study it may lead to related career opportunities including radiation therapist, X-ray imaging scientist and engineer, and cargo examination officer.
