Overview
This unit is a continuation of Diagnostic Imaging 1 (CHIR2005). The unit further prepares you to identify, interpret, report and communicate pathologic processes that were not previously covered, as they present on conventional radiographs and advanced imaging modalities. These differential diagnostic skills are fundamental competencies in Chiropractic practice.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE
Students expressed that the Report Writing assessment, which is currently graded on a Pass/Fail basis, should instead be a marked assessment to better reflect the effort and quality of work produced
It is recommended that the current Pass/Fail structure of the Report Writing assessment be reviewed to determine whether a graded assessment model would better reflect varying levels of student achievement and effort.
Feedback from SUTE
The unit and unit coordinator provide a wealth of knowledge and experience to support students to be better diagnostic clinicians.
It is recommended that opportunities continue to be provided for students to benefit from the extensive knowledge and clinical expertise shared throughout the unit.
