Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) at Keele is designed to reflect the current nature of radiography practice and to meet the future demands of the profession. The programme is structured around core themes including radiographic practice and science, the human body, interpreting images,
inter-professional learning, and research. You will apply your learning through a range of clinical placements to enable you to develop your practical skillset.
Medical imaging is used as a major diagnostic tool within a range of clinical scenarios including trauma such as a broken bone, or to inform care for pregnant women. You will develop clinical experience and technical knowledge by utilising all modes of medical imaging to take accurate images, including MRI, CT, ultrasound, ionised radiation-based imaging, nuclear medicine procedures, health screening and capabilities to undertake procedures carried out under imaging control.
