Clinical Practice:

15 x 1 Hours Yearly

Prerequisite(s):

10157 (v.5) Medical Imaging Science 315 or any previous version
AND
12181 (v.3) Clinical Medical Imaging Science 335 or any previous version

Co Requisite(s):

11990 (v.3) Medical Imaging Science 326

Syllabus:

Further clinical experience in radiography of the regions developed in previous clinical units. One of the following - Ultrasound - Clinical experience in a range of commonly performed procedures in OandG and upper abdomen. Nuclear Medicine - Clinical experience in a range of commonly performed scans, including bone, lung, heart, kidney, liver, inflammation and infection. Computed Tomography - Clinical experience in a range of commonly performed procedures within the head, spine, chest and abdomen. Magnetic Resonance - Clinical experience in a range of commonly performed procedures within the head, spine, abdomen, soft tissue.
 

Unit Outcomes:

On successful completion of this unit the student will have gained first contact experience in a third imagine modality in ultrasound drawn from modality 2 - nuclear medicine, computed tomography or magnetic resonance. The student will be able to perform any procedure covered in previous units with accuracy and speed, and be capable of performing these procedures without intervention of the supervising technologist.
