Program Status: 

This program applies to students who commenced in 2020 or later.

The Graduate Certificate of Advanced Imaging (MRI) examines the radiobiological effects of ionisation and excitation on human cell biology for both small and large doses and their Stochastic, Deterministic, and Genetic effects on Humans. It explores the different designs of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) units and the associated accessories as well as the physical structure and safety requirements in MRI. Course content employs evidence-based approach to examine different diagnostic imaging pathways for the different organs and human body parts. The Graduate certificate is designed to also accommodate Nursing, and Medical professionals who will be relying on MRI for clinical assessments or working in MRI as well as to non-health related professional anticipating work with or within the health industry.

The course is offered for part-time study. There will be face-to-face or video-conferencing intensive workshops and interactions with specialists from different medical disciplines.

Graduates from this program will not be considered MR Practitioners. However, their knowledge would serve clinical, administrative and MR physics and theory management.

Completion of this program Level will not qualify students for eligibility to be registered as MRI Practitioners.
