About Us
The Department of Radiography is in the Faculty of Health Sciences, College of Medicine, Federal University of Lafia, Nasarawa State. The training in Radiography will prepare and produce graduates that will become confident and competent members of healthcare team with required knowledge that will transform the health sector at national and international level.
Medical Radiography involves the use of ionizing radiation (including X-rays) and other forms of radiant energy such as ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. It is a profession in Medical Sciences that plays a vital role in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine.
Over the years there has been remarkable scientific and technological advancement in the field of modern medicine to which University training is needed for proper understanding and application in medical care and diagnosis.
Our goals
i. To produce Radiographers with relevant practical and technological competence in the practice of radiography at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of health-care delivery.
