In first semester of second year, the subject RAD2011 (Radiographic imaging and methods 3) covers the technical and physical principles underpinning fluoroscopic imaging, the radiographic methods for mobile imaging, paediatrics, foreign body localisation, and the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and urinary systems. In RAD2021 (Radiologic biology 3), students study the structure, function and disorders of the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and urinary systems. Surface anatomy, radiographic anatomy including cross-sectional imaging anatomy and radiographic pathology is included. The principles of the pharmacology of radiographic contrast media are covered in RAD2031 (Pharmacology) and appropriate clinical experience is undertaken in RAD2041 (Clinical studies 3).
In second semester, students develop an understanding of the role of information technology (IT) in medical imaging, study the contrast examinations for the vascular system, and are introduced to digital image processing in medical imaging in RAD2052 (Medical imaging and methods 1 (DVI) and digital image processing 1). They study the anatomical and physiological principles pertinent to the vascularsystem, common disorders and the relevant imaging anatomy and angiographic pathology in RAD2062 (Radiologic biology 4). RAD2072 (Professional skills 3) provides students with the knowledge of patient care required for the contrast examinations of gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, urinary and vascular system. Clinical practice in contrast radiography, and medical imaging examinations is undertaken in RAD2082 (Clinical studies 4).
The subjects studied in second year employ a variety of teaching methods including combinations of:
A variety of assessment is undertaken in second year in both formal examinations and coursework. Many subjects hold end-of-semester examinations where a selection of multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, calculations, longer essay-style questions and oral exams may be used by examiners. During their clinical studies students will be required to keep a record of their radiographic examinations, undertake a structured assessment of their clinical skills, a self-assessment exercise and a professional development learning contract.
