This unit further develop students' advanced knowledge of planar specialised medical imaging radiographic examinations for patients with complex critical health and medical conditions. These include breast imaging; emergency imaging; fluoroscopy, angiography and theatre imaging examinations. Integrated within these imaging procedures are appropriate and effective use of imaging protocols, clinical and physical instrumentation principles, principles of diagnostic medical contrast media administration and their associated pharmacological aspects. In addition, this unit integrates professional and ethical considerations.
1. Evaluate and justify use of appropriate imaging protocols with modified radiographic imaging techniques, and the applications of instrumentation principles for both medical imaging contrast media and non-medical imaging contrast media specialised diagnostic and interventional medical imaging examinations for patients with critical complex health and medical conditions;
2. Demonstrate an understanding by use of an evidence based approach of action to be taken in the event of critical patient care situations for both medical imaging contrast media and non-medical imaging contrast media specialised diagnostic and interventional medical imaging examinations;
3. Critically evaluate and discuss the implications for the patient in terms of healthcare professional team, ethical considerations, professionalism and professional conduct in clinical practice situations when undertaking of medical imaging contrast media and non-medical imaging contrast media advanced specialised diagnostic and interventional medical imaging examinations; and
4. Evaluate the key components of both medical imaging contrast media and non-medical imaging contrast media specialised diagnostic and interventional medical imaging examinations in terms of justification, dose optimisation, equipment, image quality and safety of staff and patients.
1. UC graduates are professional - work collaboratively as part of a team, negotiate, and resolve conflict
2. UC graduates are global citizens - communicate effectively in diverse cultural and social settings
2. UC graduates are global citizens - think globally about issues in their profession
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - evaluate and adopt new technology
