Medical imaging is expanding in terms of diagnosis, treatment monitoring and patient management. Medical imaging and radiotherapy professionals are extending their roles to cope with the rapid evolution of medical technology. PolyU offers a unique postgraduate programme that covers a wide range of medical imaging or radiotherapy specialisation areas. By taking this programme, I have developed advanced skills and knowledge to enhance my career path. It has also improved my professional competence through discussion sessions with specialists from different disciplines. Medical Imaging and Radiation Science are interdisciplinary topics involving knowledge of anatomy, pathology, mathematics, physics and computer science. Students are able to take elective subjects offered by other disciplines of study, thus expanding their disciplinary horizons. Students also have the opportunity to mix with other medical/engineering professionals. As a PolyU graduate, I am now well prepared to become a specialist in my area of practice. Students are equipped with leadership and management skills to become successful leading executives and provide high quality healthcare services in Hong Kong. Kathy Pang |  |
 | I graduated from Hong Kong Polytechnic in the mid-80s and have been in charge of Computed Tomography (CT) for more than a decade. I found the part-time Medical Imaging and Radiation Science programme very useful. It guided me to strengthen my professional knowledge with a systematic approach. The latest online journals and resources were readily available and I could complete my coursework without time conflicts with my irregular shift duties. I have a Graduate Diploma in Administration, but I still found what I learnt in the Healthcare Management subject to be very beneficial to my daily work. The programme also provided me with opportunities to broaden my exposure, for example, in Chinese Medicine. The sharing session in the CT Practicum was the one that I treasured the most, during which we had opportunities to share and discuss with experienced radiographers from other CT centres. The course was a boost for me to achieve a higher level of professional accomplishment. Poon Wai Cheuk |
