Diagnostic radiographers work mainly within the radiology and imaging depatments of hospitals but may also work in surgeries/clinics.

Radiology departments within hospitals normally include a number of sections encompassing a wide range of different imaging modalities e.g. ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine and, of course, x-rays. Diagnostic radiographers are able to undertake most investigations but may later specialise in one particular area.

Diagnostic radiographers use a range of imaging technology:

X-ray - looks through tissues to examine bones, cavities and foreign objectsFluoroscopy - images the digestive system providing a real-time image.CT (Computed Tomography) - which provides cross-sectional views (slices) of the bodyMRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) - builds a 2D or 3D map of the different tissue types within the bodyUltrasound - well known for its use in obstetrics and gynaecology. Also used to check circulation and examine the heartAngiography - used to investigate blood vessels.A variety of settings

Diagnostic radiographers provide a service for most departments within the hospital including, accident and emergency, outpatients, operating theatres and wards. Close liaison and collaboration with a wide range of other health care professionals is therefore vital.

X-rays and ultrasound are just two of the imaging techniques used by diagnostic radiographers to look at injuries or disease, or monitor changes inside the body. While most diagnostic radiographers carry out a range of procedures, they may specialise in techniques such as computerised tomography scanning, or magnetic resonance imaging which uses magnetic field and radio frequency waves to produce cross-sectional images of the body.

Diagnostic radiography is a fast-moving and continually changing profession, and long-term career prospects include:

managementresearchclinical work teaching.Working as a therapeutic radiographer

Therapeutic radiographers are increasingly known as radiotherapy radiographers. They work closely withdoctors and nurses and other members of the oncology team to treat patients with cancer.

They deliver doses of X-rays and other ionising radiation to patients, most of whom are suffering from various forms of cancer. The aim of the treatment is to deliver an accurate dose of radiation to the tumour/cancer whilst minimising the dose received by the surrounding tissues. They establish where the area to be treated is located and work out the exact dosage required with doctors andmedical physicists.

Radiotherapy radiographers may be involved in the care of the cancer patient from the initial referral clinic stage, where pre-treatment information is given, through the planning process, treatment and eventually post-treatment review (follow-up) stages.

Sonography/ultrasonography

Ultrasound is used in various settings in a hospital, including abdominal scanning and breast ultrasound. Ultrasound imaging is the use of high frequency sound in excess of human hearing to produce images of structures of the human body that may be observed on a screen. These images may subsequently be transferred to photographic film, paper, video or a CD forming part of the patients' record of their examination.

There are no direct entry routes into ultrasound. Most sonographers train as a radiographer then undertake an approved post-registration course, offered by higher education institutions. The courses are a minimum of one academic year and prepare sonographers clinically and academically for practice. Normally a pre-requisite for acceptance is access to a clinical department with supervised practice for students.

Other NHS staff may also train in sonography, including some healthcare science staff working in vascular technology and cardiac physiology.

I can't blame most people for being devoid of what bring a radiographer really means, after all we are barely over 2000 in the country. So its safe to say they lack the inept knowledge and understanding. I hope this clears things up for u.

pls guys i need your help. Which O' level background is needed to effectively study radiography.
And also which O'level background is needed to study medical laboratory sciences

Good morning "doc"
I have someone I want to suggest the course to,
You mind shedding more light on the course, schools. Offering it and of course....

Career Prospects

Lagusta:
Hello,
its good to hav a 2nd degree in radiography, but here in nigeria, ur 1st degree must be MBBS, then pass primaries in radiology and apply as a resident in the dept. That is when u can practise as a radiographer.
I dont kno if u r naija based or not, but here ooo, nearly all radiologists and sonologists are doctors. They only employ B.Sc radiography to develop x ray films and maintain their equipment

Are u kidding me? Where did you get ur information from?
U mean radiography (sic) is/are employed to develop films? Son, get help through google!

cfame1:

Firstly, don't you ever call me "son" again, if you don't know my background....

Secondly, the radiographers I have seen and met with, both as a student and as a house officer, were employed to take x-rays, develop films and maintain the equipment....

Things may be different overseas, but Nigeria is not a favourable environment for health workers, including doctors, and you know it!!!

Finally, DONT YOU EVER CALL ME "SON" AGAIN, EVER!!!!

Called u son cos u wrote like one. Maybe u have not gone close to centres that have MRI, CT scan and flouro unit. Incase u dnt know, its technicians that develop films and maintain d equipment. Please where did you finish from and where did you carry out your house work? If you dnot know that radiographers do scan u ask questions. Dont use the few cntres u hv been to to generalise. ..its fallacious and malicious!

sisiafrika:
I wonder wat they teach these eggheads in school who can't reason beyond amputating limbs and prescribing pcm/antimalaria for al patients. See him asking wat radiography is about. Araoko, even if ur almighty mbbs failed to teach u interprofessional relationship; google isnt there to help ur asss out? go and operate c-arm and develop films na. Onigberaga oshi.

As in eeeh...all these house officers that spent 9 yrs re-writing mb in sch. Its shameful. I can take this boi one on one and he will fail. They ar d kind that practice in mushroom centres.

Lagusta:


Oh shut up!!!

Didn't you see that I was a medical student at that time

Can't you read

Okay ooo Mr radiographer, give us a concise lecture on what a radiographer does.....

Mtscheeeeeew..

I wonder how many patients you have killed because of ur negligence and ignorance. .......stop tarnishing d image of ur sch and ur profession if at all u attended an university to study medicine. U write like one street boi that politicians use for thuggery or do we have thugs in medicine? Come for me and I wl roast you while schooling u here in nairaland. I am rest assured google will be ur best friend if u have in mind of coming for me.

I see no reason why Dr lagusta should be scolded to this extent, ( if at all, at least he once apologise and gave a new view but u guys took the matter personal even down to his alma mater ,nawa o) , hope this is not boiling out from jealous paramedics mind that jamb denied MBBS . sir lagusta , abeg leave those beings , u re better than them whether they like it or not.

I haven't seen any teaching hospital that allows radiographers to perform USS.....

The radiologists perform scans and write reports....

Even at harmony advanced diagnostics at Kwara state, na consultant radiologist perform the scan.....

So what are we saying now.....

Okay, I'm sorry for my outburst.....

I haven't killed anybody, and I thank God for that....

I am a proud graduate of the better by far university, UNILORIN....

GOOGLE can never replace a medical doctor, nurse, radiographer, pharmacist or any other health worker, so this "Google is your friend" issue has to stop please when it deals with the medical world.....

Pls i advise u 2 take ur time and be patient 2 study medicine and do ur residency in radiology and u will be a consultant radiologist ....because a radiographer is a photographer who takes picture xray picture under d control of a doctor who will interprete d pictures and make d final decision ,pls i dnt want u 2 be a medical photographer in d hospital or haven't u learnt lesson 4rm studying anatomy....In naija it is medicine and the rest wen it comes 2 medical field

WHAT A MYOPIC STATEMENT!

Are you sure you didn't get MBBS through quota system?Medical students are know to be thoughtful/Intelligent.

It's very absurd for you to advice anybody to study MBBS when he has made up his mind on a career field.Every individual is entitled to his/ her decision and bears the consequences afterwards.

Teaching hospitals u said. We have handful of hospitals and diagnostic centre that Radiographers scan for. Have you heard about image diagnostic in Ph or Two-Tees, in ibadan I guess (not too sure about the location)? They are owned by Radiograpers we have many of them. Moreover, FETHA abakiliki is a govt hospital and Radiographers scan there. Its cos in Nigeria politics tend to kill brains and that's why we hardly progress. Its these kind of statements that bring disharmony in health sector Instead of focusing on the betterment of the patients. Bless u!

What is this one vomiting? U think when it comes to image critics u are better of? Do I sound like someone that missed out of mbbs? Its like you don't know what career is all about. Hope u wont spend 20 yrs doing ur residency cos u ar too shallow to be in the medical profession. I hate illiterates with egocentric attitudes. I rest my case for now

Bro we ain't fighting. .just out to correct some erroneous impression for the betterment of the medical profession. If you were this polite no one would have come for you. The medical profession needs some level of decorum and demeanour. This is exactly why our health sector is in disarray today. Lets not repeat d mistakes of our yesteryear professionals; patients of these days require more attentions and have wisen up. Can you imagine a hospital with only medical doctors? Possible? Look down on no one except if you want to appreciate the persons shoes. You don't know where you will be tomorrow. ..bless you

Okay okay, please everybody lets calm down here......

Doctors are important, but so also are nurses, lab scientists, radiographers, pharmacists and physiotherapists.....

We all have a role to play in making the life of the patient better....

The health system in Nigeria has been abused, bastardized and in a state of horrendous grandeur delusion....

But we can still make things right.....

So please, let this issue die down....

Thank you all, especially my Oga cfame1

so,studying medicine makes you better?I will not choose a career based on people's perception and popularity. I rather chose a career that suits me best:flexibile life style, lucrativeness:passion.there are unfulfilled doctors,pharmacists,lab scientists all over the country.
