What is Medical Imaging?Medical Imaging Technologists (MITs) can work in a variety of roles within Medical Imaging includinggeneral x-ray, CT scanning, mammography, ultrasound, MRI and nuclear medicine.The study of Medical Imaging involvesknowledge of human anatomy, physiology andpathology, positioning and imaging techniques,physics and radiation physics, as well as how touse x-ray equipment alongside the safety issuesrelated to the use of radiation equipment andradioactive materials.Medical Imaging is a patient-centredprofession. The role involves acting as anadvocate for patients, displaying a high levelof professionalism and functioning as part ofthe multidisciplinary team. Technologists arerequired to perform high-quality diagnosticimaging procedures and ensure holisticpatient care. The role of the Medical ImagingTechnologist (MIT) is ever-changing with theintroduction of more complex technologies,increased demand on clinical imaging andeducational opportunities.Medical Imaging postgraduate study is availablefor those working professionally in MedicalImaging departments and also for otherinterested professionals who wish to broadentheir knowledge base of Medical Imaging.Postgraduate qualifications are required forprofessional registration purposes in theimaging technology sub-specialties of MagneticResonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound andNuclear Medicine.Medical ImagingMedical Imaging is the practice of obtainingdiagnostic images and providing imagingguidance in interventional procedures, using arange of technologies. It is performed by MedicalImaging Technologists, historically knownas radiographers. These health practitionersare required to combine scientific skills andknowledge with patient care into their workingpractice. In New Zealand, these practitionersare required to be registered with the MedicalRadiation Technologists Board (MRTB) in orderto be eligible to practise clinically and hold anAnnual Practising Certificate (APC).New Zealand GraduatesThe New Zealand qualification required forregistration as a Medical Imaging Technologist isa Bachelor of Health Science (Medical Imaging),Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging)or Bachelor of Medical Imaging. In 2019, aBachelor of Medical Imaging (Honours) degreewas introduced at the University of Auckland.This programme is the first undergraduateMedical Imaging programme to be offered by auniversity in New Zealand and the only degree tooffer an honours option in Medical Imaging.1MammographyNuclear MedicineMammographers are qualified MITs specialisingin diagnostic and/or BreastScreen Aotearoa(BSA) breast imaging services. This careerpathway is also suitable for radiotherapistswishing to enter diagnostic imaging and workwithin BSA. Mammography is a challenging butrewarding clinical environment to participate inand is highly patient-focused. Mammographersrequire a sound understanding of the technicalaspects of imaging breast anatomy andpathology, whilst addressing the emotionalrequirements of client care and communication.A career in Nuclear Medicine is peopleorientated and provides exposure to healthsciences and computer technology. Comparedto other modalities, Nuclear Medicine is uniquein that it uses radioactive tracers to provideboth structural and physiological information onalmost any organ of the body to assist with thediagnosis and treatment of disease.Magnetic ResonanceImaging (MRI)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)Technologists use very high-field strengthmagnets to obtain diagnostic images of thehuman body. These images provide informationto assist doctors in diagnosing a wide rangeof neurological, musculoskeletal and bodypathologies. MRI Technologists usually obtain anundergraduate degree in Medical Imaging first,before completing specialist postgraduate studyand training in MRI. They should have an interestin physics as well as anatomy and pathology toensure images of optimal quality are obtained,in addition to good people skills, as they haveresponsibility for the safety and care of patientsin the MRI environment. These technologistswork primarily in mid-to-large sized hospitalsand private radiology departments.UltrasoundSonographers are health professionals whoutilise their knowledge of human anatomy,pathophysiology, technology and physicsin order to obtain diagnostic images, whichassist in the diagnosis of disease and foetalabnormalities. Sonographers are employed inhospitals, universities and private clinics. Theymay also run their own business. Sonography isa highly sought after career, with New Zealandtrained sonographers in demand around theworld. A career in ultrasound requires highlydeveloped people skills, and a commitment tolifelong learning.

These courses present the stateof-the-art in each discipline, are research-ledand supported by the cutting-edge clinical andeducational facilities offered in the faculty.All MEDIMAGE and CLINIMAG courses are worth15 points and are available only by distancelearning (with the exception of the on-campusultrasound course CLINIMAG 709). All of thesecourses are fully online and delivered via theUniversity’s learning management systemCANVAS. They incorporate a range of learningapproaches including videos, webpages anddigital resources from the Philson library.A Medical Imaging Orientation workshop isoffered at the beginning of each semester forthose students new to the University and somecourses may include 1-2 day block courses.These are on-campus events and while notcompulsory, attendance is highly recommended.A major feature of postgraduate study is arequirement for self-directed learning. Thisis achieved through assignments, reading,seminar presentations and online discussions.Study at postgraduate level means makinga commitment to both professional andpersonal development as well as to new andchallenging academic work. Postgraduatestudy is about investigating, analysing, criticallyevaluating, reflecting and responding to thechallenges posed by practice and the academicenvironment.A clinical competency assessment requirementmust be successfully completed for thespecialty modalities of Mammography, MRI,Nuclear Medicine, and Ultrasound. For thepostgraduate diploma programmes, this willenable registration with the Medical RadiationTechnologists Board (MRTB) in the appropriatescope of practice.The faculty also offers the following researchdegrees, which may be of interest to studentswho have already completed some postgraduatestudy: Master of Health Sciences – MHSc Doctor of Philosophy – PhD4

Catherine LymanCatherine is a Professional TeachingFellow in the Medical Imaging programme,providing specialist expertise in the fieldof Computed Tomography (CT).“I have been a Medical Imaging Technologistfor 19 years, teaching postgraduatestudents at the University of Aucklandsince 2014. I have a particular interest inCT, completing a Postgraduate Certificate(Computed Tomography) at the Universityof Bradford, England in 2009 andworking in various associated clinicalroles since then. With the introductionof the new BMedImag(Hons) programmeat the University of Auckland in 2019, Iam looking forward to inspiring thenext generation of Medical ImagingTechnologists.“My passion is high quality CT imaging, asthis contributes to the best outcomes forpatients. Holistic patient care is also a vitaland rewarding part of being a MedicalImaging Technologist.“My approach to teaching and learningis based on the concept that studentsmore readily engage with material thathas relevance to their clinical practice. Ialso feel that it is important that studentsengage in a community of practice so Iencourage them to learn with and from oneanother.“My knowledge and professional expertiseis a result of my years of study, teachingand clinical experience. I continue to workclinically which ensures that my teachingis relevant and current. This clinical workkeeps me abreast of imaging developmentsand new clinical practices, which helpsme to teach current best practice and thelatest technology.“Attending international and nationalconferences and study events alsomaintains my level of knowledge of thisrapidly evolving modality and ensures thatmy teaching is informed and evidencebased. The ongoing advances in MedicalImaging technology make learning sointeresting!”5

Fathima OkoroigwePostgraduate Certificate in Health Sciences(Mammography) graduate Fathima Okoroigwe worksat BreastScreen Waitematā Northland and is a ClinicalSupervisor for the University of Auckland.“My first experience with mammography was in 2001, inSingapore. I was asked to train as there was a shortageof MITs able to perform mammograms. In 2007, I wasoffered a position in a dedicated mammography centre inJohannesburg. This was an enlightening experience, as wewere one of the first private radiology practices in SouthAfrica to perform digital mammography and tomosynthesis.“I was fortunate to work with a radiologist who waspassionate about breast imaging. As a result, I realised thata mammogram was more than screening and obtaining fourimages. We as mammographers have a great responsibilityto the women we image to make a scary, uncomfortableexperience one they will return for. After over 10 years ofbeing a full-time mammographer, I still find mammographyinteresting and technically challenging.“I have always enjoyed teaching, and opted to do a ClinicalSupervision course as part of my Postgraduate Certificatein Health Sciences (Mammography) at the University ofAuckland. In 2017, I followed this with a PostgraduateCertificate in Clinical Education!“Three years ago I became a Clinical Supervisor forBreastScreen Aotearoa, and I find this role very interestingas I watch my student grow and develop, much like watchinga baby bird leave the nest! I enjoy establishing a relationshipwith my student, helping them develop the confidence to seekfeedback and become more reflective in their practice. It’svery fulfilling knowing that you have contributed to teachingsomeone a skill to use throughout their career.“I often feel as a supervisor that we teach and learn atthe same time. I find the University of Auckland’s onlinesupervisor support website very helpful, as I can refresh mymemory about specific clinical assessment criteria. I oftenrefer to the library resources as this keeps my knowledgeupdated and helps me provide relevant support to mystudent. The Medical Imaging staff have also proven to bevery supportive!”8

Kim LewisPostgraduate Diploma in Health Sciences (MedicalImaging) graduate Kim Lewis works as a Medical ImagingTechnologist and clinical tutor for the Taranaki DistrictHealth Board.“I was looking for a good way of getting CPD points and toincrease my knowledge of radiography. I was specificallyinterested in image evaluation papers so I chose to studyat the University of Auckland because they provided thesein a distance learning environment and I could study whileworking. The best thing about this programme is the teachingstaff. Everyone is friendly, approachable and helpful. Theylisten to concerns, are always supportive, and they answer allquestions no matter how silly the questions feel!“Doing this study has really improved my job satisfaction;the papers are very relevant to my clinical practice and Ihave a far greater understanding of what I am looking aton images. When working in a very small remote hospital, Iwould frequently be asked by the GPs my opinion on imagesso I wanted to increase my knowledge so I could give a more9informed opinion. This increased level of knowledge hasalso proved useful when working with students. Being ableto guide them to find the answers to their questions andpointing out abnormalities on images that may otherwisehave been overlooked has been valuable to their educationalso.“Doing these papers has also increased my confidence tomake decisions on my own, such as bringing particularstudies to the attention of the doctors when necessary. I amalso able to better advocate for my patients either by notdoing examinations that are unnecessary, discussing whatexaminations may be better given the indications, or evenadding additional views to ensure the correct diagnosis.“I am very interested in research and encouraging otherradiographers to get involved. I hope in the future there willbe more scope for radiographers to get into leadership areas,using their research skills to improve radiology services andhelp improve patient outcomes. As such, I am continuing withfurther study and have started my Master’s degree with theintention of pursuing a PhD after that!”
