Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Describe and apply profession specific diagnostic radiography practice and procedures for the regions being covered
2. Demonstrate clinical reasoning skills with regard to patient management and image evaluation which reflects the understanding of the clinical history and/or the impact on differential diagnosis to ensure the appropriate imaging pathway.
3. Demonstrate their knowledge of mechanisms of injury and/or the causes of disease processes on varying patient presentations
4. Continue to identify key imaging anatomy/surface anatomy to expand pattern recognition skills so as to identify radiographic pathology
6. Demonstrate and apply self learning skills
Content
This course focusses on developing knowledge and skills for a radiographer working in Computed Tomography (CT) . The course outlines the requirements to be able to conduct safe and effective Computed Tomography (CT) examinations as required to obtain AHPRA Registration.
In addition this course covers areas of general radiography and fluoroscopy to both revise and consolidate the earlier semesters in the program. Consideration is given to patient presentations such as Trauma, Paediatrics and Geriatrics.
