Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Critically evaluate and analyse cross-sectional medical images with regard to the common types of abnormalities and diseases of each of the organ systems, including identifying any urgent and unexpected findings; and the appropriate use of the selected medical imaging modality;
2. Critically reflect on the diagnostic limitations of cross-sectional imaging modalities and be able to recommend alternate medical imaging examinations;
3. Critically evaluate and synthesise the principles involved in systematic interpretation of radiographic images relevant to planar medical imaging examinations to those used in cross-sectional imaging examinations; and
4. Synthesise the principles of radiographer reporting systems and express informed interpretation opinions by utilising rational and rigorous clinical arguments.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Learner engagement
The students will participate in various learning activities such as lectures, tutorials, online learning activities and self-directed learning. The students' learning will be supplemented by the Canvas site.
Participation requirements
The lectures will be recorded and will be accessible through the Canvas site. A grade of 50% or greater overall is required to pass. In accordance with current professional accreditation requirements, to demonstrate you have met the learning outcomes of this unit it is expected that you attempt all elements of assessment to a reasonable standard.
Active engagement in all online modules enhances your learning and is strongly advised. Unless specifically stated in the unit outline, there is no mandatory attendance requirement. However, you may elect to attend timetabled activities, as they allow you to ask 'real time' questions to develop your understanding for the relevant assessment tasks.
Required IT skills
Students will need basic IT skills and high qauility access to the Canvas site.
This unit involves online lectures pre recorded using the Virtual Room in your º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room. If the need arrises the lectures may sometimes be pre-recorded and uploaded to the canvas site.
