Course Description

This course builds on Advanced Imaging Applications 1, with a focus on practical/clinical application of each modality in relation to a range of anatomical sites. The course will provide you with the knowledge required for the Year 3 Clinical Practice Courses.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for BP321 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Radiations) (aligned to the Accreditation Standards of the Medical Radiations Practice Board of Australia):

Standard 1

  • Apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology to practice (1.a)
  • Understand and apply the different methods of imaging and treatment (1.c)
  • Confirm the procedure according to clinical indicators (1.d)
  • Assess the patient’s/client’s capacity to receive care (1.e)
  • Implement techniques for patient/client stabilisation and reproducibility of procedures and outcomes (1.f)
  • Deliver patient/client care (1.g)
  • Apply knowledge of safe and effective use of medicines (1.h)
  • Perform ultrasound imaging (1.j)

Standard 1A

  • Perform computed tomography (CT) imaging (1A.c)

Standard 1B

  • Perform computed tomography (CT) imaging (1B.d)


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Critically apply knowledge of patient positioning and examination planning using a range of specialist modalities.
  2. Critically evaluate patient care considerations for cross-sectional imaging applications with respect to indications/ contraindications, preparation and pharmaceutical requirements.
  3. Evaluate the diagnostic necessity/ requirement for a range of anatomical sites.
  4. Interpret and critically evaluate images generated with respect to anatomical structures, pathology, artefacts and scanning parameters (for a range of anatomical sites).


Overview of Learning Activities

You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, laboratories, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.

You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.


Overview of Learning Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.

There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
