The Bachelor of Radiography in Diagnostics at the University of Pretoria is a four-year professional degree in the Faculty of Health Sciences that qualifies graduates to practise as diagnostic radiographers — health professionals who use X-rays, CT scans, MRI, fluoroscopy, and other imaging technologies to produce medical images for clinical diagnosis. Radiographers are essential members of the South African healthcare team, working alongside radiologists to identify disease, injury, and abnormality in patients. Students receive extensive clinical training in Tshwane's academic hospitals, developing competence across a range of imaging modalities. Graduates register with the HPCSA and are in demand across South Africa's public hospital system, private radiology practices, and diagnostic imaging centres.
