The ever-increasing sophistication of medical equipment available in recent times has revolutionized diagnostic procedures and treatment options, thereby creating the need for professionals with specific technical skills. The objective of the Bachelor’s Degree in Medical Radiology Imaging Techniques and Radiotherapy (180 Corse Credits with mandatory participation) is to prepare professionals who are able to perform, either independently or with other healthcare professionals, any diagnostic and treatment intervention prescribed by the medical practitioner involving the use of ionizing radiation, heat and ultrasound energy, or magnetic resonance. The three-year course prepares students to either gain admission to read for a Master’s Degree or to enter the professional world, in a technical role, within an Imaging, Radiotherapy, or Nuclear Medicine Diagnostics facility.
