Graduate Diploma in Magnetic Resonance Technology
About this degree
- Access the most advanced range of magnetic resonance instrumentation in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Learn from experienced radiographers, medical practitioners, medical physicists, chemists and engineers.
- Be eligible for Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy continuing professional development (CPD) points accrual.
- Organise your study around professional and personal commitments, with all courses in this program able to be completed online.
This program builds on the fundamental knowledge gained in the first four core courses of the Graduate Certificate in Magnetic Resonance Technology. Elective courses enable the student to study application of magnetic resonance fundamentals into the clinical environment as well as their development into advanced imaging techniques. This program also requires the completion of a minor research project on a topic selected by the student of relevance to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Access is to an MRI scanner is NOT required for this award.
