This discourse is going to be an interesting piece. We advice that you get a pen and a paper to take down key points and kindly stay tuned with us as we guide you to successfully prepare for the UTME examination.
Why Study Radiography?
Radiography is the art and science of using radiation to provide images of the tissue, organ, bones, and vessel that comprise the human body.
While Radiology has a medical course which almost everyone in Nigeria is not aware of the course, only some knows about radiography
In the Medical industry, many doctors are now relying on the precise diagnostic tests that radiography equipment provides.
That is where a Radiographer or Radiologic technologists can play an important role, in helping Patients prepare tests both physically and emotionally.
To become a Radiographer or Radiologist, you need to earn an undergraduate degree and attend Four year medical/ or radiology school.
What are the two types of radiography?
There are two types of digital imaging systems used in intraoral radiography – computed radiography (CR) and direct radiography (DR). CR uses a photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate to capture the image.
Here are some career opportunities for Radiography graduates:-
- Radiographers
- Radiologic Technologists
- Nuclear Medicine Technologists
- Diagnostic Medical Sonographers
- Vascular or Cardiovascular Technologists
- Vascular or Cardiovascular Technicians
- Radiologic Technicians
- Therapeutic radiographers
- Advanced practitioner and consultant practitioner radiographers
O’LEVEL/A’LEVEL REQUIREMENTS TO STUDY RADIOGRAPHY
To study Radiography, you must acquire at least Five SSCE Credit Passes in:
- English Language,
- Maths,
- Biology,
- Physics
- and Chemistry is required.
There are however, variation to these requirements in some Nigerian higher institutions. In the case of some schools highlighted for you below:
- UNICAL accepts ’A’ level in any two of Chemistry, Biology and Physics plus O/Level requirements.
b) accepts B.SC in Physical or Biological sciences plus O/Level requirements. - UNIZIK requires A’ level credit pass in Physics. Accepts London International Baccalaureate.
- UNIMAID accepts DIR/DCR registered with radiographers Board of Nigeria plus O’ level requirements.
- UNN – No direct entry.
- UNILAG accepts very good passes in three JUPEB/A-LEVEL subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology.
