Competency information
Details
View and identify key anatomical landmarks and abnormal pathology related to the relevant body systems on images obtained using ionising and/or non-ionising imaging media.
Considerations
- Relevant health and safety policies for the imaging department for the safe use of ionising and non-ionising imaging equipment.
- Key anatomical landmarks appropriate to the investigation.
- Normal and abnormal images.
- How different imaging tests contribute to the holistic approach in the diagnosis and management of relevant common conditions.
- Choice of test equipment and the safety, calibration and quality assurance checks required for diagnostic imaging equipment services.
- The selection of a particular imaging modality in preference to another.
- Key research and development areas that are likely to translate to improvements in imaging technique.
- The range of equipment within the scope of learning, its use, application and limitations.
- The strengths and weaknesses of each imaging modality within relevant care pathways.
