Medical imaging is ever evolving, and with that comes widely varied opportunities, career paths and future study. As a Medical Imaging Technologist, you play a large part in diagnosing patients using the latest technology and procedures.
Medical imaging technologists can work in a variety of roles either in public hospitals or private radiology practices. Most will begin their career in general radiographic imaging (x-ray) with opportunities to also work in computed tomography (CT), angiography and mammography.
MITs may subsequently choose to pursue additional postgraduate studies to practise in specialisations such as MRI, ultrasound and nuclear medicine. The role of the MIT in all of these imaging modalities is ever changing with the rapid advancement of technology.
Other career opportunities include roles such as sales managers or clinical application specialists with medical imaging equipment vendors, or management positions in medical imaging departments. MITs can also opt to pursue an academic career engaging in teaching and research.
