Course details
Imaging Procedures 2 will build upon the foundation knowledge developed in Imaging Procedures 1 and during the first formal clinical placement. On completion of this course, students should be able to practice the radiographic and clinical skills and knowledge required to perform routine radiographic examinations on ambulant adults of the axial musculoskeletal system to include the skull and face. Mobile radiographic examinations of the chest and abdomen will also be introduced. The theory of radiographic technique for dental and mammographic radiographic imaging and theatre radiography will be introduced and explored. High levels of patient care and safety will be explored and good radiographic practice identified and consolidated building upon the knowledge and skills developed in Imaging Procedures 1. The principles of evidence based practice will be reinforced and the principles of patient centred care introduced. Students will continue to 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 reinforced 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 and patient care skills. This course will prepare students for their second formal clinical placement.
