Applications of\u00a0radiography <\/strong>include medical\u00a0radiography<\/strong>\u00a0(“diagnostic” and “therapeutic”) and industrial\u00a0radiography<\/strong>. Detection being a key function of this department, technological up gradation is of vital importance. It is\u00a0used to<\/strong>\u00a0diagnose or treat patients by recording images of the internal structure of the body to assess the presence or absence of disease, foreign objects, and structural damage or anomaly. During a\u00a0radiographic<\/strong>\u00a0procedure, an x-ray beam is passed through the body. Radiography<\/strong>\u00a0is an advancing\u00a0profession<\/strong>, very varied, requires\u00a0strong<\/strong>\u00a0patient care and high levels of patient contact, but it’s very rewarding.<\/p>\n

Combine a passion for technology with sharp analytical skills and a desire to help others, and you\u2019ll have the ideal applicant for a radiography and medical technology degree. Far from being simply technicians, radiographers can play a huge part in a patient\u2019s journey \u2013 in fact, therapeutic radiographers will build up extensive personal relationships with patients, as they work with them daily to administer their required treatment. This is often using x-rays (and other ionising radiation) to treat cancer and tumours.<\/p>\n

Diagnostic radiographers, on the other hand, will the use the techniques and technology at their disposal to figure out the cause of a patient\u2019s illness, which could involve using x-rays, MRI machines, or ultrasound. Diagnostic radiographers often work in the radiology and imaging department, and use their skills to supplement patient care for most other departments in the hospital, including accident and emergency, and operating theatres.[\/vc_column_text][tm_heading tag=”h5″ custom_google_font=”” font_weight=”700″ font_size=”lg:22″]Some modules you may study are[\/tm_heading][vc_column_text el_class=”blue_tick bottomspace”]<\/p>\n
