Course Details
Radiography is about the use of x-rays. Students with a degree in Radiography, also known as Radiology, usually go on to work in the health care field as radiographers or radiological technicians. Radiology programs require students to have studied biology and maths before being accepted in a Radiography program. Radiographers use different kinds of radiation to diagnose, or treat, ill or injured patients.
There are two kinds of radiography. Diagnostic radiography: is the use of radiation to investigate a patient’s illness or injury. Therapeutic radiography: is the use of various kinds of radiation to treat an illness or injury.
Radiographers are not only technicians, they can also play a huge part in a patient’s treatment and recovery. Working with the patients daily to administer their required treatment help the Radiographers to build up extensive personal relationships with patients. They often use x-rays (and other ionising radiation) to treat diseases like cancer and tumours.
Listed here are some of the principal objectives of the course:
-
To develop and carry out management plans related to diagnostic radiology procedures -
To understand the radiology procedures that the patient will undergo
-
To understand basic digital and conventional x-ray physics
-
To learn about contrast administration for computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (indications, dose, timing)
-
To learn about risk factors for and management of contrast allergies
-
Understand basic radiographic patterns
