DurationCourse overview
This course is designed to provide in-depth academic teaching of the scientific principles underpinning x-ray and CT imaging, including descriptions of the imaging components, system testing and performance, patient dosimetry, factors affecting image quality and examples of optimisation in healthcare settings.
The course is run over three days (Wednesday to Friday). Each day is designed to cover a particular theme. The first day covers the diagnostic radiology physics toolkit and the design of imaging systems; the second day focuses on performance and testing; the third day is dedicated to clinical applications, novel techniques and optimisation.
The course is primarily aimed at individuals who are undertaking formal training in medical physics. As well as being suitable for new entrants to the medical physics profession, it would also be of benefit to post-graduate students, post-doctoral research workers, physicist-managers, representatives of allied commercial organisations and anyone wishing to deepen or re-establish their understanding of the physics of medical imaging.
This is a CPD course approved by IPEM.

About us
The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is one of the world’s most influential cancer research institutes, with an outstanding record of achievement dating back more than 100 years.
Our values
Our values – developed together as an organisation – make it clear how each and every one of us work to meet our mission – to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.
Our six values are:
Pursuing excellence: We aspire to excellence in everything we do, and aim to be leaders in our fields
Acting with integrity: We promote an open and honest environment that gives credit and acknowledges mistakes, so that our actions stand up to scrutiny.
Valuing all our people: We value the contribution of all our people, help them reach their full potential, and treat everyone with kindness and respect.
Working together: We collaborate with colleagues and partners to bring together different skills, resources and perspectives
Leading innovation: We do things differently in ways that no one else has done before, and share the expertise and learning we gain.
Making a difference: We all play our part, doing a little bit more, a little bit better, to help improve the lives of people with cance
To provide learners with the basic knowledge and practical experience needed in order to be able to carry out inspection, servicing and repairs across a variety of Medical Imaging type equipment in accordance with MHRA guidance, IEC Standards, relevant manufacturers’ information and the National ...
This course will explore the key principles and applications of Medical Imaging, and their relevance to current developments in physics.
We offer subspecialist training and fellowships in diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology, vascular and non vascular interventional radiology, GI / liver, chest / cardiac, radionuclide, breast, MSK, paediatric and oncology imaging at local specialist hospitals.
We organise radiology education and training courses, aimed primarily at radiologists, but also open to allied professionals such as medical and surgical clinicians, and radiographers.
Sheffield’s Radiology training Programme is well established, highly regarded and located in a compact geographical area in the centre of the UK. All facets of radiology training are available locally at every stage of the 5 year programme.
