Aims of Module
To equip the student with comprehensive knowldege and skills to effectively undertake imaging investigations of major body systems and in a range of environments.
Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
| 1. |
Discuss the justification and examination requirements for plain film, digital, fluoroscopic and contrast imaging of major body systems.
|
| 2. |
Critically appraise normal and variant conventional, digital, fluoroscopic and contrast imaging apperances of major body systems.
|
| 3. |
Discuss relevant pathologies of the major body systems and their associated radiographic appearances.
|
| 4. |
Critically evaluate the requirements for imaging in a ward, theatre, forensic or trauma environment.
|
| 5. |
Critically evaluate the care, communication and psychosocial needs of patients undergoing trauma, fluroscopic, mobile, theatre,dental and contrast radiographic investigations.
|
Indicative Module Content
Radiographic techniques for conventional imaging of major body systems, their associated pathologies and imaging appearances.
Contrast studies, contrast agents, their functions, methods of administration, care requirements and legal implications.
Trauma imaging, Theatre imaging, Mobile imaging.
Fluoroscopic imaging, Dental imaging.
Mammography and breast screening.
Health improvment and screening services.
Radiographic imaging and care of paediatrics, neonates, the elderly, infectious patients, ethnic groups, physically and mentally disabled individuals.
There will be a focus on the importance of collaborative and team working in achieving effective outcomes in operating theatre situations and in dealing with vulnerable patient groups.
| Delivery of the module will take into account the need to ensure that development of a radiographic knowledge base is couched in the context of the codes of conduct and ethics set out by the Health Professions Council and the College of Radiographers.
