Become an international leader in molecular imaging and contribute to the advancement of biomedicines and medical biotechnology.
You will study all key aspects of the subject, including:
- optical imaging
- ultrasound photo-acoustic imaging
- single photon emission tomography
- positron emission tomography
- computed tomography
- magnetic resonance imaging
- hybrid imaging technologies.
There will also be a focus on the role of theranostics — the use of imaging to understand and monitor therapy — in modern medicine.
You'll also learn about the latest molecular imaging probes, contrast agents and radio-pharmaceuticals for nuclear medicine, as well as the importance of quality control involved in clinical molecular imaging.
You will develop skills in your research training that further ready you for a challenging and rewarding career.
Career possibilities
Postgraduate study can take you anywhere. Here are some of the careers you could be on your way to:
- Clinical imaging technologist
- Biomedical imaging manager
- Radio-pharmacist
- Biotechnology physicist
- Radiation oncologist
- Molecular pathologist
