Synopsis:
Objectives: This unit aims to extend the knowledge, understanding and skills of general radiography as well as introduce you to the professional and clinical specialities of mobile imaging, accident and emergency medicine, paediatric and geriatric medicine. In addition, it is hoped that you will develop clinical proficiency in the radiographic management of the contrast examinations used to demonstrate the gastrointestinal, urinary and hepatobiliary systems. These may include: barium studies of the gastrointestinal tract. Sialography. Intravenous, post - operative and percutaneous cholangiography. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Ascending and excretion urography, micturating cysto -urethrography, urethrography and retrograde pyeloureterography. At the successful completion of these units, you will be able to: 1. Implement and evaluate appropriate general radiographic examinations for the musculoskeletal and respiratory systems and the abdomen on adult patients with minimal supervision 2. Modify and adapt basic radiographic methods, techniques and protection strategies for paediatric, geriatric and mobile imaging examinations of the musculoskeletal system, chest and abdomen under supervision 3. Demonstrate an understanding of the multidisciplinary approach to the clinical management of paediatrics, geriatrics and patients in accident and emergency situations 4. Apply quality assurance principles to general radiography and mobile imaging systems 5. Apply the principles of body section radiography 6. Identify personal learning goals in respect to the development of professional expertise in paediatric, geriatric and mobile imaging examinations of the musculoskeletal system, chest and abdomen 7. Implement and evaluate radiographic examinations of the gastrointestinal, urinary and hepatobiliary systems 8. Appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of the diagnostic imaging procedures for the gastrointestinal, urinary and hepatobiliary systems 9. Manage a fluoroscopic screening session in terms of the radiographer's role, the imaging team and duty of care to the patient 10. Appreciate the nature of the professional inter - relationship between all members of the medical imaging team during diagnostic imaging procedures 11. Evaluate radiographs of the gastrointestinal, urinary and hepatobiliary systems in terms of the condition of the patient, the clinical question, anatomy and image quality factors 12. Apply quality assurance principles to fluorographic imaging identify your own learning needs in respect to the development of professional expertise
