6907 (v.4) Medical Imaging Science 111
Area: | Department of Medical Imaging Science |
Credits: | 25.0 |
Contact Hours: | 5.0 |
Lecture: | 1 x 4 Hours Weekly |
Tutorial: | 1 x 1 Hours Weekly |
Syllabus: | Theoretical foundations of medical imaging science. Concepts of diagnostic radiography including, instrumentation, technical factors, imaging accessories and film processing. Patient care. Positioning theory for the upper extremity and shoulder girdle, lower extremity and pelvic girdle. Radiographic, surface and applied anatomy of the upper and lower extremities, shoulder and pelvic girdles and the spine. 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 the student will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the medical imaging scientist and be able to relate the necessary knowledge of first aid, nursing and patient care practices to the radiographer's role, and the procedures and regulations of the hospital system. They will be able to identify and describe anatomical structures on conventional and/or contrast radiographs, locate anatomical structures using surface landmarks and lines and planes of referenceand use geometric principles and axial relationships to interpret radiographic anatomy. |
