Teaching facilities
Our Medical Imaging facilities are based in a purpose-built suite at St Luke’s campus, which underwent a £10.5 million redevelopment to create a state-of-the-art teaching and research space.
Students have access to our X-ray room, ultrasound scanners, laboratory space, demonstration room and VR suite which will enable practical activities to take place to support the theoretical course content.
