310081 v.1 Bachelor of Science (Medical Imaging Technology)
BSc(Curtin)
Course CRICOS Code: 055612F
Registered full-time Duration for International Onshore Students on student visas: 3 Years
Introduction
Medical imaging technology 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)as the 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
This course is available for graduates in radiography seeking to upgrade to their qualifications to degree level. Applicants should hold a dilploma in radiography or equivalent level from a recognised tertiary institution.
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.
Course Organisation
It is essential that all students must participate fully in laboratory practical sessions including acting as subjects for their peer group and as mock patients for other students.
Professional Recognition
Graduates from this program will receive provisional accreditation from the Australian Institute of Radiography which will enable the graduate to obtain employment within Australia, be registered in those States having such legislation upon graduation. A Professional Development Year (PDY) is required to gain full accreditation in Australia.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials.
