What it covers
The focus of this unit is mobile imaging, trauma imaging, paediatrics, geriatrics and radiography of the head, including dental. It also facilitates the ongoing development of broader general radiographic skills of the appendicular and axial skeleton. Additionally, the unit provides you with the essential elements of imaging of the vascular, gastrointestinal, genito-urinary and hepato-biliary systems with the emphasis upon digital fluoroscopic systems. The professional role of the radiographer in managing these systems and implementing the procedures is addressed.
