Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Critically evaluate cross-sectional medical images to identify common abnormalities, diseases and, urgent and unexpected findings across organ systems, using the appropriate medical imaging modality;
2. Critically reflect on the diagnostic limitations of cross-sectional imaging modalities and recommend alternate medical imaging examinations where appropriate;
3. Reflect on the correlation of common pathologies with planar and cross-sectional imaging; and
4. Understand the radiography reporting obligations/system within Australia to various stakeholders of radiology juxtaposed with respect to informed consent.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
All items must be submitted
Artificial intelligence
Students are permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as indicated in the assessment instructions for this unit, as well as Studiosity Writing Feedback Plus.
GenAI may only be used in authorised ways when completing assessments at UC. This means that GenAI can only be used for an assessment when:
- the Unit Convener has authorised GenAI use for that assessment
- the student uses GenAI in the way that the assessment instructions allow
- the student fully acknowledges their use of GenAI, with proper citations, references and a GenAI Acknowledgement Statement in line with the assessment instructions.
Where the assessment instructions do not specifically state that GenAI may be used and how, then its use is not permitted for that assessment. Students must still provide the required GenAI Acknowledgement Statement to indicate whether GenAI has or has not been used in the preparation of the assessment. If unsure, students should seek advice from the Unit Convener.
The GenAI for Students Library Guide provides further information, including how to reference GenAI.
Special assessment requirements
Overall grade of 50% or greater required
All assessments must be attempted. Failure to attempt any assessment will result in a fail grade for the unit.
Supplementary assessment
No Supplementary Assessment are given for this unit as per UC policy
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.
Learner engagement
The students will participate in various learning activities such as lectures, tutorials, online learning activities and self-directed learning. The students' learning will be supplemented by the Canvas site.
Participation requirements
The lectures will be recorded and will be accessible through the Canvas site. A grade of 50% or greater overall is required to pass. In accordance with current professional accreditation requirements, to demonstrate you have met the learning outcomes of this unit it is expected that you attempt all elements of assessment to a reasonable standard. Failure to attempt all of the units assessments will result in a fail grade.
Active engagement in all online modules enhances your learning and is strongly advised. Unless specifically stated in the unit outline, there is no mandatory attendance requirement. However, you may elect to attend timetabled activities, as they allow you to ask 'real time' questions to develop your understanding for the relevant assessment tasks.
Required IT skills
Students will need basic IT skills and high quality internet access to the Canvas site.
This unit involves online lectures pre recorded using the Virtual Room in your UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room. If the need arrises the lectures may sometimes be pre-recorded and uploaded to the canvas site.
