History
The need for a degree program in Medical Radiography arose when the two hitherto existing schools of Radiography in Lagos and Ibadan could no longer attract students into the Diploma course. The B.Sc. program in Radiography started at the University of Calabar in 1980/81 session. The program hitherto covered a period of 4 years; this was reviewed in 1990/91 session to 5 years following the N.U.C recommendation.
The program was run in Radiography Department but was accorded full department status as Department of Radiography in 2005.
