General Information

Overview

This unit covers the essential steps in creating useful digital radiographs. You will learn how the x-ray beam's interaction with various structures influences radiographic image appearances and how to use image geometry concepts to manage the depiction of structures on radiographs. You will become familiar with the key attributes of radiographic image quality and the factors that affect them. You will learn to control scatter radiation and understand its impact on radiographs. You will explore digital imaging technology with a focus on clinical skills in the production, display, manipulation, storage and distribution of digital radiographs. You will apply concepts of signal processing and image post-processing to effectively manage radiographic appearances.

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).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.

Previous Student Feedback

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 Student feedback.

Feedback

Week 12 use of lab time for students to work on test style questions and tutorial time to work through the answers to these questions was well recieved.

Recommendation

Consider maintaining the use of class time to practice test style questions in the week prior to the assessment in future iterations.

Feedback from Staff observation.

Feedback

Use of pre-lab videos improved lab preparation with students being more aware of how the lab activities were to be carried out, and having a better understanding of how the unit content related to the lab activity.

Recommendation

Explore the option to continue the use of lab preparation videos in future deliveries.
