Clayton Second semester 2007 (Off-campus)
The unit is designed to introduce the fundamental concepts that underpin imaging the human body using radiopharmaceuticals. The unit is modularised to enhance learning outcomes for and utilises a combination of both clinical application (organ or structure to be imaged) and the radiopharmaceutical requirements to provide the context for learning. The unit contect will be given structure and direction by addressing specific learning objectives related to:
1. Introduction to radiopharmacy; 2. Considerations in imaging; 3. Diagnostic imaging procedures; 4. Image processing and display. Each module will also cover the relevant safety and quality issues and documentation standards and practices.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to demonstrate and communicate a broad and critical conceptual understanding of:
Two clinical action plans of approximately 1500 wds and accompanying comparative reports of approximately 1500 wds 40%
One 180 minute end of semester written examination comprising radiopharmacy calculations, short answer radiopharmacy and clinical questions, and extended answer clinical oriented questions 60%
