Medical Radiation Science?? (1 Viewer)

[laurenmissy7]

What is the difference between the three radiation sciences (Diagnostic Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy)? Detailed description from someone doing the course or something would be good

Can you get similar jobs from each of the degrees

If not, is it possible to transfer from one of the lower UAI degrees (say, raidation therapy) to one of the higher ones with good marks in the first term (semester?)

Thanks heaps

Basically what sort of equipment you use when you finish the degree. DR is all about x-rays, ct's, MRI and ultrasounds. NM is using isotopes and such to diagnose, so PET for example. RT is what they do to cure cancer.

If you want more information, look at all of the courses in each of the programs on the uni website: radiation therapy, nuclear med and diagnostic

Most likely, yes.

u can swap.. but it'd involve having to go back and do all the 1st yr specific subjects again.. plus all the pracs.. so not the easiest, but possible
