Unit of study_
MRTY2106: Radiographic Evaluation 2
2025 unit information
This unit of study builds upon knowledge of imaging technology, image quality and radiographic anatomy. Students will be expected to evaluate general radiographic images for quality and identify anatomical structures, injuries and diseases of the human body in planar images, including significant medical findings requiring urgent information giving. This unit of study combines an evidence based approach using research articles applied to case based learning of the axial skeleton and trunk areas

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. demonstrate a systematic approach to image interpretation including an ability to undertake a review of image quality
- LO2. evaluate radiographs of the axial skeleton, skull, face, pelvis and abdomen for image quality including noise, contrast and appropriate technique
- LO3. identify and discuss a range of anatomical structures, injuries and diseases in planar images of the regions above, including both plain radiographs and cross sectional imaging
- LO4. identify normal variants on plain radiographs and cross sectional imaging of the above regions.
- LO5. demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between image reporting to immediate patient management, including where significant medical findings are found on the examination
- LO6. apply critical and reflective practice to clinical scenarios including appropriate inquiry to image evaluation and interpretation
- LO7. evaluate current research and best practice to image interpretation including a demonstrated knowledge of comparative imaging techniques
- LO8. demonstrate capability in discussing medical images with patients, consumers and professional staff in relation to the role performed by radiographers.
