Unit Code: MIS703

Unit Name: Medical Imaging Methods III

Description: The course will introduce and familiarize students with advanced and specialized imaging modalities such as Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine, Hybrid modalities, Bone Densitometry and Shortwave lithotripsy. The students also review the contents of MIS 603 to conduct examinations with multiple trauma and more complex health and medical conditions. The course will complement the clinical experience of students and students will conduct Magnetic Resonance and Ultrasound imaging procedures considering gross and cross-sectional radiographic anatomy, radiation protection and safe practice. Theory will be complemented with supervised MRI and Ultrasound Imaging clinical placement at a designated medical imaging facility

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, the students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic physics and principles of Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine, Hybrid modalities, Bone Densitometry and Shockwave lithotripsy. 2. Assess image quality and implement basic quality control tests and measurements in Ultrasound Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 3. Explain issues in the use of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging regarding relevant regulations, safety considerations and department planning. 4. Justify imaging protocols and examination techniques in Ultrasound Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 5. Demonstrate beginner level competence in performing and interpreting examinations of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 6. Apply the multimodality approach to diagnose trauma and pathology
