Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Synthesise the physical principles and instrumentation with requirements of clinical practice of ultrasound and MRI;
2. Synthesise the safety issues and some of the potential biological effects of the use of ultrasound, radio-waves and strong magnetic fields with requirements of clinical practice of ultrasound and MRI;
3. Critically analyse the image formation and spatial encoding used in MRI and be able to describe the image formation and basic principles of Doppler in ultrasound;
4. Critically analyse the imaging protocol and techniques of the major clinical applications in ultrasound and MRI; and
5. Recognise and describe anatomical structures and common pathologies as depicted in ultrasound and MR images.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
All assessment items must be attempted. Students must obtain an aggregate result of greater or equal to 50% to pass this unit.
Supplementary assessment
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.
