MEDI13003 - Comparative Imaging

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Using case based and problem based formats, students will reinforce the anatomy and radiography already learned. A series of student-centred activities allow students to examine the multi modality and relational aspect of anatomic visualisation. The integrative quality of the knowledge, skills and experience learnt will be emphasised as students critically examine a series of case studies or scenarios.

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).

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).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 70%
2. Examination 30%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Compare radiographic and ultrasound images with other imaging modalities.
  2. Recognise the merits of various modalities used for specific examinations or pathologies.
  3. Apply the knowledge and skills learnt in the program to practice the effective production and interpretation of images.
  4. Observe the process of image fusion for some of the described modalities.
  5. Integrate theory and clinical experience in the solving of problems.
  6. Use analytical skills to compare and contrast various imaging modalities.
