Training activity information
Details
Select and use appropriate instrumentation and monitoring equipment for the measurement of radiation, including:
- X-ray imaging
- Nuclear medicine
- External beam radiotherapy
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Advantages/disadvantages of different types of instruments and equipment
- Major types of measurement/monitoring e.g. passive vs active monitoring
- Choice of instrument or equipment for a measurement
- Importance of calibration, testing and maintenance of instrumentation
- Use of instrumentation and equipment to make measurements
- Uncertainties involved in measurements
