Assess the risks and benefits of recent technological advances in medical imaging such as artificial intelligence (AI).
Generate original research using your own research question and appropriate investigative method
Critically analyse your research results and relevant published work using knowledge gained on this course
Produce suitable scientific outputs in written and other formats in English.
Develop research (MSc only), time management, and communications (written and oral) skills
Utilise generative and/or artificial intelligence tools to assist in studies whilst maintaining academic integrity
Operate a range of digital tools to enable efficient completion of tasks
Be critically aware of the impact that medical imaging, and healthcare in general, have on the environment
Understand the commercial and industrial perspective of medical imaging technology
Identify some medical imaging content and the modality with the image was captured
Troubleshoot image quality and functionality related issues surrounding equipment and software
Competence Standards:
1. Visually appraise a medical image, identifying key features of its appearance and image content, linking the appearance of medical images to the underlying physical processes which govern their formation.
2. Interpret and communicate scientific data in written formats, including graphical and tabular forms, as appropriate for an academic/professional audience.
3. Develop research questions, formulate research plan, and carry out, plan, and demonstrate Self-directed learning using appropriate support as necessary.
4. Critically analyse own and other research, applying mathematical and statistical techniques as appropriate.
Authentic assessments are utilised to assure students demonstrate learning via a range of methods. These assessments focus on applying knowledge and skills gained in a practical manner, via case study, data interpretation, or scenario-based report using written or oral communication as well as computer-based assessments. For the research project you will write a journal style article of your research.
We will help you assure your learning is up to date using course work as well as formative assessments including short quizzes, group discussions, workshops and tutorials.
