Prerequisite(s):

6907 (v.4) Medical Imaging Science 111 or any previous version

Other Requisite(s):

Admission: Completion of all first semester units

Syllabus:

Positioning theory for chest and abdomen, veterbral column and thoracic cage. Integration and application of medical imaging science, instrumentation and imaging principles with reference to imaging techniques. Radiographic, surface and applied anatomy of the chest, abdomen, head and neck. Application of geometric principles and axial relationships to the interpretation of radiographic anatomy and their implications to radiographic procedures.

Unit Outcomes:

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to demonstrate understanding of the roles of the medical imaging scientist. Describe the positioning and technical requirements for the chest, abdomen, vertebral column and thoracic cage. Identify and describe anatomical structures on conventional and/or contrast radiographs. Locate anatomical structures using surface landmarks and lines and planes of reference. Use geometric principles and axial relationships to interpret radiographic anatomy.

Unit Assessment Breakdown:

Final Exam (Imaging and Imaging Anatomy (MIS 104) 35% and 25%. Test 1 (mcq/SCAT/Imaging Anatomy) (MIS 104) 7%. Test 2 (radiograph ID) (MIS 104) 9%. Test 3 (mcq/SCAT/Imaging) 15%. Test 4 (mcq/SCAT/Imaging Anatomy) (MIS 104) 9%. MIS 104 students should double the percentage values for each of the assessments. In order to pass this unit, students must score an overall mark of not less than 50% and must gain at least 45% in each component. If less than 45% is gained in one (or both) component(s) and therefore that component is failed, the final grade will be the lower of F45 (Fail 45%), or the actual score gained.
