Within the Department we have a fully functional diagnostic x-ray room. As a student you’ll carry out practical work using this equipment, including positioning and radiographing high-tech teaching mannequins and undertaking quality control checks. You’ll also conduct a variety of experiments such as investigating the use of filters and exploring the impact of angulation on image quality and dose. You will also have the opportunity to use the equipment for your third year research project.
The x-ray room also accommodates two ultrasound machines, and a resolution and doppler string phantom which can be used for research projects.
Other University research and teaching facilities include a research MRI scanner, a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scanner, and quantitative ultrasound scanners providing researchers and students alike with rich resources for learning and research.
