Graduate Certificate of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The Graduate Certificate of Magnetic Resonance Imaging is designed for practising medical radiation practitioners and other suitably qualified health practitioners to advance your technological expertise and academic understanding of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) whilst continuing your clinical work in these areas.

This course expands your previous knowledge and professional experience. Learning from experienced practitioners and leaders in medical imaging research, you’ll explore MRI and its application to clinical diagnostic imaging, and build to an advanced understanding of MR imaging techniques.

The Graduate Certificate of Magnetic Resonance Imaging is ideally suited for:

• medical radiation science professionals - radiographers, radiation therapists and nuclear medicine scientists
• professionals in related disciplines (such as psychology and neuropsychology) who use MRI as a research tool
• professionals in related disciplines (such as such as medicine, veterinary science, physiotherapy and rehabilitation science and forensic medicine) who use MRI as a clinical tool

Other professionals who would benefit from this course include:

• orthopaedic surgeons and cardiologists who rely on MRI to provide rapid answers to difficult clinical questions
• biomedical engineers wishing to undertake research and development in the field of MRI (e.g. Advanced RF coil, RF and gradient amplifier design)

Internationally, professional bodies representing medical imaging scientists recognise the value of postgraduate study as a means of keeping pace with rapidly changing technology in this field, as well as enhancing the capacity of graduates to engage in MRI research.
