Description

Dive into the fascinating world of Radiography with our comprehensive course. We commence with an introduction to radiographic science, seamlessly linking it to the intricate world of radiological physics. These foundational aspects pave the way for an in-depth exploration of radiobiology, where you will discover the biological effects of radiation - a critical aspect of Radiography.

The course then transitions to practical components of Radiography. You will learn about radiation protection, an essential aspect of this field, before delving into the digital realm, where you'll study how to interpret digital radiographic images. The course concludes with specialised modules on dental radiography and radiography of different body parts, enabling you to apply your Radiography knowledge in a range of contexts.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
