This unit allow students, with research supervision, to apply research knowledge and skills in designing and planning a medical imaging research project proposal. Students review concepts and theories that underpin research in diagnostic medical imaging within a broader context of health and medicine to identify an empirically sound research ideas. They apply and integrate these theoretical constructs into the various elements that constitutes the developing of a medical imaging research project design proposal. Evaluate the validity of the published literature to identify knowledge gaps and rationale for the research question. Choose a suitable research paradigm associated with an appropriate research design and its methods with sound research ethical principles and radiation applications to enable a responsible research practice. Develop an empirically sound scientifically sound medical imaging research study project design proposal ready for implementation.
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.
1. UC graduates are professional - work collaboratively as part of a team, negotiate, and resolve conflict
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - adapt to complexity, ambiguity and change by being flexible and keen to engage with new ideas
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - reflect on their own practice, updating and adapting their knowledge and skills for continual professional and academic development
