Course overview

About X-Ray & Imaging Technology

X-ray and imaging technology education introduces the physical principles, patient-preparation routines, positioning concepts and radiation-safety responsibilities associated with diagnostic imaging support. Learners study how imaging departments coordinate patient identification, equipment preparation, exposure workflow and image documentation under authorised supervision.

The programme suits students interested in anatomy, technology and precision-based clinical support. It must not be presented as authorisation to independently order, perform or interpret examinations; the graduate’s duties depend on verified qualification, employer policy and applicable regulatory requirements.

What Students Learn

Anatomy and physiology

Body structures and landmarks relevant to safe patient positioning and imaging communication.

Radiology physics

Basic production of X-rays, image formation, exposure factors and equipment components.

Electricity physics

Electrical principles relevant to imaging equipment, controls and safe operational awareness.

Dark-room and image workflow

Traditional processing concepts alongside modern image handling, identification and quality awareness.

Special investigations

Introductory awareness of specialised imaging procedures and the preparation required by authorised teams.

Radiation protection

Time, distance, shielding, dose awareness, warning systems and safe departmental behaviour.
