Thanks @jinx_58 for the mention!
Idk much abt monash, but I can defs give some insight into this course.
So medical imaging and radiography are the same. It's js different wording.
Before you go into radiography, there are some things you need to consider.
- Do you like working with people? I know this sounds obs but radiography is a healthcare job and you'll be meeting very sick patients.
- Do you like maths and physics? Ik that engineering has the whole shebang but this field is very specialised physics and you'll need to operate machinery and knowing what's behind it is very important.
- Are you prepared to go on placement and pay for costs? The uni expects you to pay for everything yourself from daily costs and accommodation if you are placed somewhere like interstate for example.
Pros:
- Radiography is a very very progressive field. There is always new equipment and machinery coming out along with research and data. So something that you do this year might be very different in 5 or so years.
- There is something new everything from patients and right down to the equipment it itself, you could be rostered in CT, MRI or even general x-ray. So there shouldn't be a reason to get bored.
I hope this offered some insight radiography and don't hesitate if you have any more questions.
Peace,
