Diagnostic radiography 2014

Just got an interview from Leeds this morning!!!....Soo nervous! Does anyone know what i should expect?

Thank you! Gonna have to call them up as I have been unfairly rejected then

Thats a good idea , tell me how it goes


My friend had this situation too but she was told that the University just hadn't updated their entry requirements yet and it's written in their policy that they wouldn't do anything lmao

Just wondering if anyone has been asked or would know what to say if they were asked 'why have you chose diagnostic radiography and not therapeutic' just interested to hear everyone's opinions

I got a rejection from my 1st offer Portsmouth gave me an offer for applied physics instead...God this feels terrible (

Has anyone got into university doing diagnostic radiography with btec level 3 applied science...and which universities?

Hey there, I know that might sound suckish, but I got rejected by cardiff who said I didnt come across with enough knowledge on radiography and then went to Exeter who I thought I had no chance with, then they gave me the lowest possible offer which was BBC offer and was impressed for just that reason that cardiff rejected me for

Im not saying dont eat nutella...because nutellas awesome but your definitely not out of it yet

Subscribing! Radiographer here, any questions about the job/course (though can't tell you much about specific universities as I only went to one ) feel free to ask.

Well, why have you chosen one over the other? Did it just feel like you wanted to go diagnostic? Here's a quick and likely flawed and biased outline so you can come up with some reasons.

Therapy radiography tends to focus on treatment of cancer and other diseases over a period of time with the same patients. You build up a great relationship with your patient over the sessions, which some might like, others might not. You get to know some patients will make it and be better off, but sometimes it's palliative more than radical, which I imagine can hit some people hard.

Diagnostic radiography tends to be quick contact with patients - you see them, have to build up a relationship very quickly, and then image them. You need to be able to "snap" to the patient and ensure they trust you - adapting to different patients is key. You'll deal with a lot of folks from all walks of life and see a lot of variety. You'll also see a lot more variety in your imaging methods - I believe therapy use the CT scanner to target treatment, but diagnostic uses a whole lot more - conventional radiography, fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, ultrasound and so on. You'll also work with a lot of hospital staff - diagnostic can be in A&E, in the general department or on the mobile scanners if the patient is in too poor condition to be brought to the room.
