On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Discuss and apply planar radiographic techniques and protocols and modify examinations to enhance patient safety, image quality, radiation dose and demonstrate required anatomy or pathology;
2. Perform simulated radiographic examinations of the chest, abdomen and appendicular skeleton safely and competently demonstrating patient care and communication;
3. Critically evaluate radiographic images using recognised criteria; and
4. Identify and apply knowledge of normal anatomical structures and common pathological and traumatic conditions relevant to radiographic examinations of the chest, abdomen and appendicular skeleton.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
