Overview
- Adaptation/ modification of radiographic projections: appendicular and axial skeleton; Supplementary projections of these regions.
- Mammography
- Contrast agent examinations of the digestive system (including biliary, salivary), urinary system, vascular system and female reproductive system
- Modification of techniques, including exposure factors
- Requirements of specific patient groups ( demographics, pathologies)
- Practical applications of US imaging
- Practical applications of CT scanning
- Practical applications of radionuclide imaging
- Practical applications of MRI
- Pharmacology of contrast agents and their modes of administration
Learning Outcomes
- Analyse techniques identified, relating to dose implications, imaging considerations, examination requirements, resources, patient condition/needs and consideration of other imaging modalities which may be relevant to examination of the area.
- Discuss the needs/modifications for techniques associated with specific patient groups related to patient demographic and disease process (psychological/physical). Undertake and participate in examination of patients in these groups.
- Reflect on clinical practice and undertake the radiographic techniques and utilise resources required for the projections/ examinations outlined in module content.
- Understand the principles and methods for the safe administration of contrast agents
- Understand the relevance of radiographic examinations and suitability of projections to patient condition, clinical history and image quality .
