The primary object is to provide adequate training in a branch of medical work which is becoming increasingly important and difficult, and which is outside the ordinary medical curriculum. The diploma is open only to those who hold a medical qualification, and includes a course of lectures and practical work in physics (Part I) and in radiology and electrology (Part II). Attendance at the necessary courses of lectures in both subjects, and, in addition, six months' clinical experience in an adequately equipped hospital recognized by the Diploma Committee, are essential. The whole course of study takes six months, the lectures, practical work, and hospital attendance running concurrently.The courses carried out by the University of Cambridge are at present arranged to begin early in January. Three months are spent at Cambridge doing the lectures and practical work in Part I, and attending the systematic lectures in Part II and the practice of Addenbrooke's Hospital, where there is a fully equipped and up-to-date X-ray and electrological department. The remaining three months can be completed at any hospital recognized by the Diploma Committee for this purpose (a list of such hospitals can be obtained), but special arrangements are made for students to continue their studies in London, where demonstrations at various hospitals are arranged, in order to give a wide experience.In addition, an independent course is arranged by the British Institute of Radiology. This course is held entirely in London, but is recognized by the University as qualifying for the examination; it begins early in October.Further particulars as to the Cambridge courses can be obtained from F. Shillington Scales, M.A., M.D., Medical Schools, Cambridge, and of the London courses from Stanley Melville, M.D., at the offices of the British Institute of Radiology, 32, Welbeck Street, London, W. 1.Article HistoryPublished in print: Feb 1926 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsRecommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 6, No. 2 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download
