The program takes (4) years. It includes two (2) disciplines of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy. Diagnostic Imaging is a method for examining and identifying the structure and function of organs in the human body through image production. Images are produced through the use of various modalities such as general radiography, computerized tomography (CT) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging and radionuclide imaging. Radiotherapy is also associated with the treatment of diseases especially cancer, using ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays and electron beam. Radiotherapy uses many types of equipment such as cobalt-60 telescope unit equipment and linear accelerators.
Specialise in a particular area of diagnostic radiography, such as:
- breast screening/mammography
- computerised tomography (CT) scanning or sonography
- interventional radiography
- magnetic resonance imaging MRI
- medical ultrasound
- nuclear medicine
- trauma/accident and emergency.
