Standard entry criteria and 120 level 1 credits for BSc(Hons) Diagnostic Radiography programme
ARCS2208 - Diagnostic Imaging Technique 2
This module is not approved as a discovery module
This module allows students to explore the use of specialist imaging of the body systems, develop their skills in MSK Imaging and learn about the role of the radiographer in each area to develop their wider appreciation of the role of the radiographer within the patient pathway.
The aim of this module is to provide the knowledge base and underpinning theory for imaging the body systems. Students will consider the safe use of pharmacological preparations (including contrast agents) used to demonstrate anatomy, pathology and physiology. They will be expected to learn how to adapt to individual patient needs with consideration of how to evaluate the patient and their own limitations.
At the end of this module the student should be able to:
1. Discuss the theoretical knowledge and application of the principles of examinations requiring the safe use of pharmacological preparations.
2. Analyse diagnostic pathways, cultural perspectives, communication & patient management in specialist imaging.
3. Identify and evaluate appropriate imaging pathways for specific pathologies.
4. Discuss the concepts, which support safe and effective diagnostic imaging techniques in imaging body systems and the developing role of the radiographer.
