This unit introduces the computer applications in medical radiation science of digital imaging, digital image quality improvement and image data information, handling and storage. It covers the human observer in the chain of diagnostic imaging, image quality assessment, digital imaging processing and analysis, image reconstruction and visualisation, image data storage and communication and imaging informatics.
1. Appraise and integrate an understanding of physiological characteristics of the human observer and of human perception and the relationship of these in image observation and determination of image quality;
2. Critically review and apply basic principles that underpin digital image processing techniques available in diagnostic imaging and be able to manipulate images to alter image quality;
3. Evaluate and synthesise knowledge of digital images and the processes of image enhancement and display; image informatics; and patient information storage, transmission and retrieval systems in relation to clinical medical imaging; and
4. Evaluate the principles of manipulation of image datasets and apply the principles in multi-planar reformats and volume imaging.
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
2. UC graduates are global citizens - make creative use of technology in their learning and professional lives
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - evaluate and adopt new technology
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - reflect on their own practice, updating and adapting their knowledge and skills for continual professional and academic development
