Exam reading and resources list

Candidates are required to manage their own preparation for the national exam for medical radiation practice. Part of that preparation will often include reading and revising academic textbooks and other professional resources. The reading and resources list provided below are suggested items and are intended to help a candidate’s preparation.

The list of resources provides a good cross section of academic and professional material commonly used in medical radiation practice. It is not an exhaustive list and will be updated from time to time.

When searching for other reference and resource material, candidates should take care to ensure that the material is relevant to current professional practice. Please take care when using resources that reference overseas laws, regulatory requirements or specific requirements in those jurisdictions as they may differ from practice in Australia.
