Deakin University offers a four-year degree in Medical Imaging, otherwise known as Medical Diagnostic Radiography, at our Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus. The course provides you with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and clinical expertise that will enable you to practise as a registered diagnostic radiographer (subject to accreditation by AHPRA).

The program of study involves medical radiation science linked to principles of medical imaging, biological sciences, and ethical and legal aspects of health care to inform and support your clinical practice.

Professionally accredited course This course has been approved by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia and received conditional accreditation from AHPRA as a new course.

Substantial clinical placements Over the four years of the course, there will be substantial clinical practice, conducted mostly in clinical centres and hospitals, supplemented by the new three-roomed medical imaging training unit.

Complete our Bachelor of Medical Imaging and work as a:Skilled practitioner across the broad range of diagnostic medical imaging: general radiography, digital vascular imaging (DSA), computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

State of the art facilities Deakin’s Medical Imaging labs replicate the capabilities of real-world medicalimaging clinics. Two of the main X-ray examination rooms include ceiling- and floor-mounted imaging systems. The medical imaging labs are fully X-ray operational so that the learning experience is “real-world” rather than simulated.

Career opportunities Graduates are prepared for a career in a radiology department in a hospital, private radiology practice or healthdepartment. Graduates are eligible to work as skilled practitioners across the broad range of diagnostic medical imaging: general radiography, CT, fluoroscopy, MRI and DSA.

Units within the degree The course comprises 32 credit points. All the units in the course are core (these are compulsory), other than a choice of one of three units in the final year of the course.

Practical lab classes Deakin’s clinical partners provide the University with de-identified clinical images, adding realism to practical lab classes. Classes begin with a discussion of the images that students will be reading and examining many requiring enhancement or manipulation for optimal interpretation.
