General Information

Overview

This unit focuses on developing your skills in performing routine radiographic examinations of the appendicular skeleton on an ambulant adult at an advanced beginner level. You will demonstrate high levels of patient care and radiation safety. You will develop skills to evaluate radiographs with regard to image quality and determine if an image is diagnostic. You will apply your understanding of the relationship between the beam, patient and image receptor and how it impacts on image appearance to determine strategies to improve imaging outcomes. You will develop your skills as a reflective practitioner, to gain greater self-awareness and make progress toward a self-directed continued professional development habit. The practical and simulated experiential learning element of this unit is performed in the University's Medical Imaging clinical simulation laboratories.
