Course description

Our MSc in Medical Imaging Science covers a multidisciplinary topic of central importance in diagnosis, treatment monitoring and patient management.

Imaging is also a key tool in medical research and it is becoming increasingly possible to relate imaging studies to genetic traits in individuals and populations. Novel imaging biomarkers of disease can enable more rapid and precise diagnosis and inform decision making in drug development programmes.

As medical imaging involves knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, technology and computation, our course is suitable if you want to expand your horizons in these disciplines.

You will cover the basic science and technology behind the principal imaging modalities currently used in medicine and medical research, as well as advanced imaging methods, clinical and research applications, imaging biomarkers and computational methods.

You will learn how advanced imaging techniques are applied in medical research and drug development with an emphasis on magnetic resonance (MR) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. You will also receive training in computational and quantitative methods of image analysis or in the interpretation of clinical images from different imaging modalities.

This course comprises both a taught component and a research project, giving you the skills and knowledge required to pursue a career in an image-related field in clinical medicine, medical research, and scientific research or development.

Aims

We aim to provide you with:

• a systematic understanding of the scientific basis of the major medical imaging modalities;
• a broad understanding of the principal clinical applications of medical imaging and its role in diagnosis, monitoring and therapy;
• an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of medical imaging for deriving quantitative anatomical and physiological data;
• knowledge of how advanced imaging techniques are applied in medical research and drug discovery;
• the experience to plan, implement and complete a research project;
• generic transferrable skills required in a multidisciplinary scientific or clinical research environment;
• practical skills required for a career in an imaging-related field in clinical practice, medical research, and scientific research or technological development.

Career opportunities

On graduation you will be in an excellent position to pursue careers in imaging-related fields in healthcare and research. This MSc will also form a sound basis for you if you wish to proceed to PhD research in any aspect of medical imaging.

Intercalating medical students may use this qualification as a platform to pursue a clinical career in radiology.

For physical science/engineering graduates, this may be a route to imaging research or development in an academic or commercial environment.
