About Course

Radiography, Imaging & Patient Care

The X-Ray Technician Course is designed to provide students with foundational theoretical and practical knowledge in diagnostic radiography and X-ray imaging. The course introduces learners to radiographic equipment, patient positioning, image acquisition, radiation safety, anatomy, basic image evaluation, and professional healthcare practices.

Participants will learn how X-ray examinations are prepared and performed under appropriate clinical supervision, with strong emphasis on patient safety, radiation protection, infection control, and professional ethics.

The course combines classroom learning with practical demonstrations, clinical exercises, and case-based learning to help students develop the knowledge and skills required for entry-level roles in diagnostic imaging environments, subject to applicable qualifications, licensing, and scope-of-practice requirements.
