This course builds on the concepts covered in Medical Radiation 1, introducing students to further concepts and skills in the Medical Radiation divisions of practice (streams). This course will develop your knowledge of Medical Radiation Physics including the foundations of radiobiology and radiation protection, biological effects and safety and legislation of ionising radiation. An introduction to digital imaging processing, relevant to the three streams of medical radiations, will be provided.

This course will also build on your understanding of professional practice and patient care, including professional regulation, codes of conduct and the legal and ethical aspects of medical radiation practice.

This course includes a work integrated learning (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills will be developed in a clinical setting.
