Diagnostic radiographers work with sophisticated medical radiation equipment and make use of a wide range of techniques to produce radiographic images of the body.

These radiographic images will assist the healthcare team in the diagnosis of illnesses and injuries.

Apart from using X-ray equipment, diagnostic radiographers also utilise high end computer hardware and software to process data and perform complex multi-planar and three-dimensional reconstructions in radiological investigations. These include using:

• Computerised Tomography (CT)
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Ultrasound
