This unit develops students' knowledge and allow them to gain practical skills in image interpretation of planar x-ray examinations and develops a comprehensive understanding of the role of different imaging modalities in diagnosis of abnormalities and diseases, including urgent and unexpected findings. This unit provides students with the underpinning theory and practice of radiographer reporting systems and develops skills of providing informed opinions.
1. Critically evaluate and analyse planar medical images with regard to the common types of abnormalities and diseases of each of the organ systems, including identifying any urgent and unexpected findings; and the appropriate use of the selected medical imaging modality;
2. Critically reflect on the diagnostic limitations of planar imaging modalities and be able to recommend alternate medical imaging examinations;
3. Critically evaluate and analyse the basic principles involved in systematic interpretation of radiographic images relevant to planar medical imaging examinations; and
4. Synthesise the principles of radiographer reporting systems and express informed interpretation opinions by utilising rational and rigorous clinical arguments.
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
1. UC graduates are professional - work collaboratively as part of a team, negotiate, and resolve conflict
2. UC graduates are global citizens - think globally about issues in their profession
