General Information

Overview

This unit builds on Science and Instrumentation 1 (MEDI12001) and aims to provide you with insights about the x-ray generator and timing circuit in the digital environment. You will learn to apply concepts such as digital image processing, histogram analysis, post-processing and artificial intelligence (AI) to control radiographic image appearances. You will also be introduced to the physical and operational principles of specialised equipment such as orthopantomography (OPG), bone mineral densitometry, mammography, mobile and fluoroscopic systems. This unit will help you understand how image quality and dose can be influenced for fluoroscopic systems.

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).

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 SUTE Coordinator reflection

Feedback

Some students found the post-tutorial bite size explanation (BSE) videos very helpful in explaining topics that they were having trouble with.

Recommendation

Continue with the provision of the post-tutorial bite size explanation (BSE) videos in future iterations of the unit to assist students with understanding the topics that they struggle with.

Feedback from Coordinator reflection Informal feedback from students

Feedback

The revamped 2 hr lab intensive session was well received by the students and assisted them in consolidating topics related to image processing and post-processing.

Recommendation

Continue with the adaptation of the 2 hr lab intensive session to support students in consolidating topics related to image processing and post-processing.

Feedback from Informal feedback from students Student Activity Monitor (SAM) data

Feedback

Some students preferred to study the unit by referring to the pdf documents of the lecture slides instead of watching the recorded lectures.

Recommendation

Encourage students to maximize their understanding by actively engaging with recorded lecture videos, fostering a deeper comprehension of course material beyond the confines of lecture slides.
