Shining a light on radiographers

1 JANUARY 2003

Medical imaging students and staff at Charles Sturt University (CSU) will commemorate International Radiographers and Radiation Therapists Week from 3–9 November at CSU Wagga Wagga Campus. Undergraduate courses in Medical Imaging have been taught at CSU for over 30 years. This year more than 200 students are studying on campus in preparation for a career as a radiographer, a health professional who takes medical images including CT and MRI scans, ultrasounds, mammograms and x-rays for diagnosis. Lecturer in medical imaging, Mrs Kelly Spuur said, the University also has post-graduate students enrolled in courses including ultrasound and image interpretation and offers a professional advancement program for overseas radiographers. “The world’s first X-ray taken was in 1895 and Saturday 8 November is recognised as World Radiography Day,” she said.
