159499 v.3 Bachelor of Science (Medical Imaging Science)



Introduction
Medical imaging science involves the application of a range of medical imaging procedures which use x-rays (radiography and computed tomography), radioisotopes (nuclear medicine), ultrasound (sonography) or magnetic fields (magnetic resonance imaging) asthe forms of radiation to produce an image. Through these procedures and images the structure and functions of various body systems are displayed and a diagnosis of the illness or injury determined.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
Physics and Applicable Mathematics.

Specific Requirements
The STAT is not accepted for entry to this course. Applicants for this course should refer to the Communicable Diseases and Criminal Record Screening/Clearance Section of this publication.

Recognition of Prior Learning
Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.

Duration and Availability
The course is three years full-time study. First year is full-time at Curtin (Bentley Campus) with second and third years having clinical periods in three different clinical centres.

Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. In addition, students may also need to contribute some of the cost of consumables, which varies depending on the area of study.
