Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), BS.c Medical Imaging Programme

Medical imaging is a technology used to produce visual representations of the interior of the body for clinical study and medical intervention. BS.c Medical Imaging KNUST program is designed to train students in the use of various imaging techniques, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI, to diagnose and treat medical conditions. The program covers a range of topics, such as anatomy, physiology, medical physics, and medical ethics. Students will also gain practical experience through clinical placements in hospitals and other medical facilities. After completion, graduates can pursue careers as medical imaging technologists, radiographers, or other medical imaging professionals. Objectives

• To detect, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries by creating visual representations of the interior of the body.
• To identify and locate tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities, as well as to monitor the progress of treatment.
• To guide surgical procedures and to provide non-invasive alternatives to traditional diagnostic procedures.

 BSc MEDICAL IMAGING KNUST ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Applicants must satisfy the university’s general requirements. To be qualified for admission, prospective applicants must have the following requirements. WASSCE/SSSCE APPLICANTS

• Credit passes in three (3) core subjects: English language, Mathematics, and Integrated Science.
• Credits pass in three (3) elective subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology.

A’ LEVEL APPLICANTS Five (5) credits at O’ Level subjects including English Language and Mathematics or its equivalent additional three (3) passes at the A' Level in Biology, Chemistry, Physics. MATURE APPLICANTS Applicants must be 25 years old at the time of submitting the application. EITHER five (5) at the O’ Level, including English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics. OR WASSCE/SSSCE Credit passes in three (3) core subjects: English language, Mathematics, Integrated Science. Credits passes in three (3) elective subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology. OTHER APPLICANTS Candidates with a minimum of three (3) years of work experience who are Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (RDMS) certified or equivalent from a recognized institution are eligible to apply. Interview requirements also apply to mature candidates. BSc Medical Imaging KNUST cut-off points. BSc Medical Imaging KNUST cut off points are very important to guide applicant in the process of selecting their course at KNUST. Therefore, student who want to apply must meet the cut-off points of the school before applying. BSc Medical Imaging KNUST cut-off points are 10.

University of Ghana (Legon) BSc. Diagnostic Radiography Programme

Diagnostic Radiography is a specialized branch of medical science that utilizes various forms of radiation to produce high-quality clinical images. These images play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases. What is Diagnostic Radiography? Diagnostic Radiography is a technology-driven discipline that integrates:

• Basic sciences (physics, biology, chemistry)
• Medical and physiological sciences
• Hands-on clinical training

Radiographers use advanced imaging technologies, including:

• X-ray
• Ultrasound
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scanners
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Mammography

Career Opportunities Diagnostic Radiographers (also known as Radiologic Technologists or Medical Radiation Technologists) work in various healthcare settings, such as:

• Hospitals
• Clinics
• Medical Laboratories
• Private Practices

This field combines scientific knowledge, technical expertise, and patient care, making it a dynamic and rewarding career in modern healthcare.
