PAM2003 Clinical Imaging 22007-2008Code: PAM2003Title: Clinical Imaging 2 Instructors: Mrs R. Yalden CATS credits: 15 ECTS credits: 7.5 Availability: B821 only Level: 2 Pre-requisites: N/A Co-requisites: N/A Background Assumed: Clinical Imaging 1 (PAM1006) Duration: Weeks 1-5, 7-10, 21-24 Directed Study Time: 30 hours Private Study Time: 117 hours Assessment Tasks Time: 3 hours Observation report: Scheduled for 2006/07 KMK AimsThis module aims to develop knowledge of the science and technology underpinning the x-ray sources, image receptors and supporting facilities used in clinical radiology. The module also aims to provide understanding of the details of a number of advanced 2-D x-ray imaging applications now becoming widely available in imaging departments. A further aim is to provide knowledge of the way in which controls are implemented to ensure that there is continuous improvement in safety and the reliability of the imaging chain. Encompassed within this module are the example situations of angiography and neurology, utilisation of x-ray interventional procedures and use of x-ray facilities in wards and A&E Departments.
