Diagnostic imaging is a branch of healthcare technology which uses a variety of machines and methods to let doctors look inside the body to diagnose medical issues and prescribe treatments. It’s an important area of medicine as it allows for fast, non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of health conditions and there is a range of imagine technologies to suit a diversity of use-cases, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI technology and ultrasound.
PhD courses represent the highest formal academic level of study in this field and contain a significant research component. Applicants are generally expected to hold a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree in a related medical or biological sciences subject area for entry to a PhD programme. Courses last two to four years full-time or can be studied part-time with a typical duration of four to six years. There are nine such courses available in the UK and provide strong preparation for roles as researchers, educators and advanced practitioners in the field of diagnostic imaging.
A diagnostic imaging PhD programme involves advanced research in medical imaging technologies, such as radiography, CT scans and MRI. Students conduct in-depth research on imaging innovations, diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes and you can expect to be supervised by leading experts in both diagnostic and therapeutic radiography. Universities which run PhD courses generally have very strong connections with national and international patient groups, research centres and professional bodies.
Trans-disciplinary collaboration with industry partners and major teaching hospitals is also a regular feature of research degrees like this and after graduation, you’ll be ready to take on work at the very highest level of the professional field of diagnostic imaging.
