Competency: 8

Details

Measure and record the output of a range of equipment, eg lasers, UV and physiotherapy ultrasound

Considerations

• Use and operation of a range of common non-ionising non-imaging applications, to include lasers, Ultraviolet (UV), lithotripsy, electron microscopy (EM), etc.
• The physical principles behind different sources of non-ionising radiation.
• Methods of measuring the output of lasers, UV and US equipment.
• The use and operation of a range of common non-ionising non- imaging applications, to include; lasers, UV, lithotripsy, therapeutic ultrasound, EM etc.
• Safety requirements in the use of non-ionising radiation.
• A range of clinical applications for each technique.
• The use and operation of a range of common non-ionising non- imaging applications, to include lasers, UV, lithotripsy, therapeutic ultrasound, EM, etc.
• Safety requirements in the use of non-ionising radiation.
• Differences in imaging and non-imaging techniques sharing a common physical principle.
