Basic radiographic examinations of the chest and abdomen will also be included and gastro intestinal studies will be introduced. High levels of patient care and safety will be explored and good radiographic practice identified and consolidated. The principles of evidence based practice will be introduced. Students will develop skills to effectively evaluate radiographs with regard to image quality and determine if an image is diagnostic. The principles of image interpretation will be introduced and common trauma/disease processes of the chest, abdomen and musculoskeletal system explored. There will be a large practical and simulated experiential learning element of this course performed in the digital radiological laboratories and imaging workstations to help develop and reinforce knowledge, understanding, basic clinical skills and a solid foundation of patient care.
