Postgraduate study in Medical Physics and Imaging Technology

What can you study in Medical Physics and Imaging Technology?

This programme involves extensive specialist training in imaging and physiology that may create a pathway to proceed to further postgraduate study in Medical Physics, Biophotonics, Biomedical Imaging or Biophysics.

Areas of research interests open to exploration include:

Theory of light matter interactions relevant to biological systems
Development of optical sensing and imaging systems
Data and image processing
Development of instrumentation and optical probes

Students considering the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Medical Physics and Imaging Technology programme should have a strong background in Physics and Mathematics. Courses in Biological Sciences or Physiology are also a good combination to have to provide a good foundation to progress your postgraduate studies in Medical Physics and Imaging Technology. Please see the undergraduate Medical Physics and Imaging pathway for specific information about how to progress to postgraduate study in this subject.
