Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Critically evaluate a literature and identify gaps in the evidence in a selected area within the medical imaging field worthy of further research;
2. Reflect upon and analyse researchable ideas of the identified gap in the evidence and formulate a research question which addresses the research problem;
3. Critically review various research methodological approaches to identify and select a suitable research paradigm, research design and associated methods for the formulated objectives and aim to answer the research question; and
4. Develop an empirically sound scientific medical imaging research project proposal and apply and integrate the relevant research ethical principles for implementation of the research project.
Graduate attributes
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems1. UC graduates are professional - work collaboratively as part of a team, negotiate, and resolve conflict

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.
Learner engagement
To succeed in this unit, each group member need to be actively involved in tutorials which scaffold the completion of the assessment tasks.
