Graduates of Deakin University's Bachelor of Medical Imaging program are equipped with specialized skills and knowledge to pursue rewarding careers in diagnostic radiography, medical imaging, and healthcare settings. This program prepares students to operate advanced imaging equipment, interpret diagnostic images, and provide essential patient care.

Diagnostic Radiographer: Diagnostic radiographers perform medical imaging procedures such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound examinations to help diagnose and monitor medical conditions. They work in hospitals, medical clinics, imaging centers, and outpatient facilities, collaborating with medical teams to ensure accurate diagnosis and patient care.

MRI Technologist: MRI technologists specialize in conducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to visualize internal organs, tissues, and structures. They operate MRI equipment, monitor patient safety during scans, and ensure high-quality images for diagnostic purposes. MRI technologists work in hospitals, specialized imaging centers, and research facilities.

CT Technologist: CT technologists operate computed tomography (CT) scanners to produce cross-sectional images of the body for medical diagnosis. They prepare patients for scans, administer contrast materials when necessary, and collaborate with radiologists to interpret imaging results. CT technologists are employed in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and imaging laboratories.

Ultrasound Technologist: Ultrasound technologists perform ultrasound examinations to visualize organs, tissues, and blood flow patterns using high-frequency sound waves. They specialize in abdominal, obstetric, gynecologic, vascular, and cardiac ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound technologists work in hospitals, maternity centers, medical clinics, and private ultrasound practices.

Nuclear Medicine Technologist: Nuclear medicine technologists administer radioactive drugs to patients and use specialized cameras to create images of organs and tissues that exhibit abnormal metabolic activity. They collaborate with nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists to interpret images and provide diagnostic information. Nuclear medicine technologists work in hospitals, cancer treatment centers, and research institutions.

Radiation Therapist: Radiation therapists administer radiation treatments to cancer patients as prescribed by radiation oncologists. They operate radiation therapy equipment, monitor patients during treatments, and ensure accurate delivery of radiation doses. Radiation therapists work in cancer treatment centers, hospitals, and outpatient radiation therapy facilities.

Mammography Technologist: Mammography technologists specialize in performing mammograms, which are X-ray images of the breast used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. They position patients for imaging, operate mammography equipment, and collaborate with radiologists to assess breast health. Mammography technologists work in breast imaging centers, hospitals, and women’s health clinics.

Research Scientist: Research scientists in medical imaging conduct clinical research studies to evaluate new imaging technologies, imaging protocols, and patient outcomes. They collaborate with healthcare professionals, academic institutions, and industry partners to advance diagnostic imaging techniques and improve healthcare delivery.

Healthcare Administrator: Healthcare administrators oversee the operations of medical imaging departments, ensuring efficient workflow, staff management, and compliance with regulatory standards. They collaborate with healthcare providers, manage budgets, and implement quality improvement initiatives to optimize patient care and imaging services.

Educator/Trainer: Educators and trainers in medical imaging provide education and training programs for aspiring radiographers, technologists, and healthcare professionals. They develop curriculum, deliver lectures, and supervise clinical training to prepare students for careers in diagnostic radiography and medical imaging.
