Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to: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. Critically analyse and discuss actions to be taken using an evidence based approach in the event of a critical patient care situation for both medical imaging contrast media and non medical imaging contrast media specialised diagnostic and interventional medical imaging examinations procedures and processes;
3. Critically reflect and discuss the implications for the patient in terms of healthcare professional team in terms of ethical considerations, professionalism and professional conduct in clinical practice situations when undertaking of medical imaging contrast media and non- medical imaging contrast media specialised diagnostic and interventional medical imaging examinations; and
4. Analyse and discuss 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, medical imaging equipment, image quality and risks and safety of staff and patients.

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.
