Area: | Department of Medical Imaging Science |
Credits: | 25.0 |
Contact Hours: | 15.0 |
Lecture: | 15 x 1 Hours Weekly |
Other Requisite(s): | Completion of second year of course
|
Syllabus: | Clinical experience first contact development of the radiography of the skull and face. 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 O and G 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 ina 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 skills on a range of frequently requested examinations of the various regions of the skull and clinical experience in ultrasound, 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. |
