Fourth year


General

This year is not semesterised. RAD4060 (Clinical studies 7) provides students with an extended period of time spent gaining clinical experience in general radiography, paediatric radiography, trauma imaging, mobile and theatre radiography, fluoroscopic imaging and computed tomography. The subject RAD4010 (Medical imaging and methods 3 [MRI]), covers the technological and physical principles underpinning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the positioning and processing requirements for MRI studies of the head and neck, abdomen and joints and the associated cross-sectional imaging anatomy and pathology. RAD4020 extends the study of sonography into gynaecological examinations and examinations of the testes. Relevant clinical practice in MRI, obstetric, gynaecological and testicular sonography is undertaken in RAD4050 (Advanced clinical studies). The subject RAD4030 (Research in medical imaging) will extend the knowledge and understanding of scientific research methodologies and research in radiography and medical imaging developed in RAD1041 (Professional skills 1) and RAD1092 (Professional skills 2).
Students will also undertake an elective that will extend their knowledge and research skills in an aspect of radiography and medical imaging of particular interest to the student.
