Graduating with a Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging from Monash University opens diverse career opportunities in diagnostic imaging, healthcare, and medical technology. This program prepares graduates to perform diagnostic imaging procedures, interpret medical images, and contribute to patient care in hospitals, clinics, imaging centers, and research institutions. 

Radiographer: As registered radiographers, graduates can work in hospitals, medical clinics, and imaging centers. They perform diagnostic imaging procedures such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine imaging. Radiographers ensure patient safety, obtain high-quality images, and collaborate with healthcare teams to aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Medical Imaging Technologist: Graduates may specialize as medical imaging technologists, focusing on specific imaging modalities such as MRI technologists, CT technologists, or ultrasound technologists. They operate specialized imaging equipment, prepare patients for procedures, and assist radiologists and other healthcare professionals in obtaining diagnostic images.

Radiation Therapist: Some graduates pursue careers as radiation therapists, administering radiation treatments to cancer patients under the supervision of radiation oncologists. They ensure precise delivery of radiation therapy, monitor patient responses to treatment, and provide compassionate care and support to patients undergoing radiation therapy.

Mammographer: Mammographers specialize in performing mammography procedures to screen for breast cancer and diagnose breast abnormalities. They position patients for mammograms, operate mammography equipment, and collaborate with radiologists to interpret images and ensure accurate diagnosis.

Interventional Radiographer: Graduates interested in procedural and interventional radiology can pursue careers as interventional radiographers. They assist radiologists in performing minimally invasive procedures such as angiography, angioplasty, biopsies, and catheter-based treatments to diagnose and treat various medical conditions.

Computed Tomography (CT) Technologist: CT technologists specialize in performing CT scans to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. They operate CT scanners, ensure patient comfort and safety during procedures, and collaborate with radiologists to interpret images and provide diagnostic information.

Ultrasound Technologist (Sonographer): Sonographers specialize in performing ultrasound examinations to visualize organs and tissues within the body. They use ultrasound equipment to obtain images, interpret findings, and provide real-time imaging for diagnostic purposes in obstetrics, gynecology, cardiology, and other medical specialties.

Researcher in Medical Imaging: Graduates interested in advancing the field of medical imaging can pursue careers as researchers in universities, research institutions, or healthcare organizations. They conduct studies on imaging technologies, diagnostic techniques, patient outcomes, and advancements in medical imaging equipment.

Healthcare Administrator: With additional qualifications or experience, graduates can work as healthcare administrators or managers in radiology departments, imaging centers, or healthcare facilities. They oversee imaging services, manage departmental operations, implement quality assurance programs, and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations.

Educator/Trainer: Those passionate about education can work as educators or clinical trainers in radiography and medical imaging programs. They teach students, supervise clinical placements, develop curriculum, and contribute to the training and professional development of future radiographers and imaging technologists.
