Check if you qualifyDiagnostic imaging, also known as radiography, is a health field that uses technology such as X-rays, CT, and MRI to help diagnose and treat medical conditions. This degree prepares you to become a radiographer, working alongside doctors and other healthcare professionals to produce images that guide patient care. Entry is competitive, and the university accepts applicants from General Science and Home Economics backgrounds.
What diagnostic imaging covers
Programmes of this kind usually teach you how the human body works, how radiation and imaging physics operate, and how to use equipment like X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound machines. You learn to position patients correctly, capture clear images, and understand what the images show so you can support clinical decisions. Most graduates go on to work in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic imaging centres, often in departments like radiology, accident and emergency, or oncology.
How competitive is entry
Getting a place on this programme is competitive. The University of Health and Allied Sciences considers applicants from General Science and Home Economics, so students from either background can apply if their grades are strong. The same programme at the University of Cape Coast is highly competitive, which suggests entry at UHAS may be somewhat more accessible, though still demanding. You should check whether your own grades meet the specific subject requirements for this university.
