醫療影像學 vs 放射治療學 你知唔知佢哋有咩分別?
讀完出嚟兩個都係叫放射師,你到底知唔知醫療影像同放射治療嘅分別?
其實兩個嘅分別係
一個幫病人「搵答案」
一個陪病人「走過治療」
Medical Imaging 醫療影像學,似係「身體偵探」。
病人可能出現胸痛、跌親、懷疑有腫瘤、要做 follow-up check……
你要用 X-ray、CT、MRI、Breast Imaging 等唔同嘅影像技術,將身體入面睇唔到嘅線索,變成醫療團隊可以判斷嘅證據。
唔係只係按掣,係專業的臨床判斷 !
Radiation Therapy 放射治療學,就似係「精準治療工程師+陪伴者」。
病人好多時已經面對癌症,去到你面前唔係「做一次治療」,而係要你同佢一齊進入一段治療旅程。你學嘅係oncology、治療技術、治療計劃、物理、輻射安全,你要用所學嘅幫病人設計治療方案,每一步都要準確。
係香港,放射師不是「識按掣就做得」。
佢哋係受註冊制度規管的醫療專業,而且有唔同方向:
醫療影像學畢業生將會成為放射師 (診斷類)
放射治療學畢業生就會成為 放射治療師(治療類)
名字相似,但使命不同。
如果你喜歡解謎、喜歡 anatomy、想接觸唔同 case、想係診斷前線幫病人搵方向。
你可能適合醫療影像學。
如果你重視陪伴、對 cancer care 有感覺、喜歡精準 planning、想將科學變成治療的一部分,你可能適合放射治療學。
係東華學院,兩科都係由Year 1開始就可以修讀相關嘅專業知識,四年內需要完成共36週的clinical practicum,實踐所學。
東華學院唔只教你知識同技巧,仲教你當你面前有一位病人時,你點樣將所學嘅知識變成:安全、準確、有溫度嘅照護。

Medical Imaging vs Radiation Therapy: The differences you may need to know!
After graduation, both may become radiographers - but do you really know the difference between Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy?
We can simply say:
One helps patients find answers.
The other supports patients as they go through treatments.
Medical Imaging is like being a “body detective”.
A patient may have chest pain, an injury, a suspected tumour, or may need a follow-up check. Medical Imaging professionals use technologies such as X-ray, CT, MRI and breast imaging to turn invisible clues inside the body into evidence that helps the medical team make clinical decisions. It is not just about pressing buttons — it requires professional clinical judgement.
Radiation Therapy is like being a “precision treatment engineer” and a companion.
Many patients you meet are already facing cancer. They are not coming in for just one examination; they are beginning a treatment journey, and you are there to support them through it. You will study oncology, treatment techniques, treatment planning, physics and radiation safety. Using this knowledge, you help design treatment plans for patients, where every step must be accurate and carefully delivered.
In Hong Kong, radiographers are not simply people who “know how to operate machines”. They are regulated healthcare professionals with different areas of specialisation.
Graduates of Medical Imaging may become Diagnostic Radiographers.
Graduates of Radiation Therapy may become Therapeutic Radiographers or Radiation Therapists.
The names may sound similar, but their missions are different.
If you enjoy solving problems, love anatomy, want to encounter different clinical cases, and hope to help patients find direction at the diagnostic frontline, Medical Imaging may be suitable for you.
If you value patient companionship, care deeply about cancer patients, enjoy precise planning, and want to turn science into part of a patient’s treatment journey, Radiation Therapy may be suitable for you.
At Tung Wah College, students in both programmes start learning relevant professional knowledge from Year 1. They are also required to complete a total of 36 weeks of clinical practicum within four years, applying what they have learned in real clinical settings.
Tung Wah College do not only teach you knowledge and skills. We also teach you how to turn what you have learned into care, that is: Safe, Accurate and Compassionate.
