This unit introduces and familiarises the students with the imaging modalities of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It covers the physical principles and instrumentation and the basic scanning techniques and protocols used in ultrasound and MRI clinical practice. It also covers safety issues associated with the use of ultrasound, radio-waves and high magnetic field strengths.
1. Critically analyse the physical principles, instrumentation and image formation methods against requirements to undertake clinical practice in ultrasound and MRI;
2. Synthesise the safety issues and 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. Analyse imaging protocols and techniques and critically review them against the common clinical requirements in ultrasound and MRI; and
4. Critically reflect on and synthesise previously gained knowledge of anatomical structures and common pathologies in relation to ultrasound and MR images.
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
2. UC graduates are global citizens - make creative use of technology in their learning and professional lives
