Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Synthesise and apply planar radiographic techniques and protocols, including modifications, to improve diagnostic image quality, minimise radiation dose and demonstrate required anatomy or potential pathology;
2. Safely and competently perform simulated radiographic examinations of the pelvis, hip and femur, shoulders, girdle, and humerus, spine and skull, demonstrating advanced professionalism and autonomy in patient communication and care;
3. Critically evaluate the use of radiographic images using recognised criteria; and
4. Integrate and apply knowledge of anatomical structures and common pathological and traumatic conditions relevant to radiographic examinations.

Special assessment requirements
You are required to meet the attendance and participation requirement for laboratories (hurdle requirement) AND obtain an overall unit mark of 50% or higher to pass this unit. Should you fail to pass BOTH requirements, you will fail the Unit.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. 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.
UC students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC 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 , , and 糖心原创vlog (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
Attendance at, and active participation in, laboratories is compulsory for this unit. This is a hurdle requirement as the scheduled laboratories provide pre-clinical skill development required to meet the learning outcomes of this unit and achieve Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia accreditation standards. Failure to meet this requirement will result in a fail grade for this unit.
You are required to meet the attendance and participation requirements for laboratories to pass this Unit (hurdle requirement). If due to special circumstance, you are unable to attend the scheduled session, you must contact the Unit Convener as soon as possible, and may be granted an alternate laboratory task for your missed laboratory. This completed task is due 5 working days after your missed laboratory. Failure to satisfactorily complete and submit your alternate laboratory task, or failure to attend and participate in scheduled laboratories, will result in a fail in this unit.
All students are expected to attend the tutorials in this unit as these learning activities support integration of knowledge required to meet the learning outcomes of this unit.
In accordance with current professional accreditation requirements, to demonstrate you have met the learning outcomes of this unit you are expected to attempt all elements of assessment to a reasonable standard.
Required IT skills
You will be using the virtual radiography program, Projection VRTM as part of this unit. You will be provided with instruction on how to access and use this program.
