Forensic Radiography

Delivered by distance learning, this part-time course develops forensic imaging knowledge and skills for radiographers, imaging technologists and other staff who handle forensic images. You can study from anywhere in the world, and awards are offered at certificate, diploma and master's levels. You learn to devise a protocol for forensic imaging that complies with applicable guidance and the law, and to produce images that will stand up in court by understanding what strong evidence requires. Subjects include imaging children and adults when physical abuse is suspected, scanning of the deceased as an alternative to invasive examination, locating hidden evidence such as smuggled drugs or ballistic material, identifying the deceased, and age assessment in trafficking and immigration cases. The certificate builds on your existing skills. The course carries professional accreditation.
