How many years can you study radiography in unn? Please what is the difference between radiography and radiological science and just radiography,or are they the same thing?
Radiology and radiography are two different things but they are almost the same.The difference is that radiographers are not regarded as medical doctors rather a radiologic technologist.In unn, radiographers almost study the same thing that radiologists do.I even sense that in the nearest future they might begin to write MBBS and then become medical doctors.However for now, you can study medical radiography,then after graduation, you can do masters in radiology, and still become a radiologist if you wish to
Thank you for this enlightenment
