RAD1012

Synopsis

RAD1012 develops foundational scientific, professional, and clinical radiographic knowledge essential for you to progress along the Novice to Expert continuum. The unit extends radiographic expertise, enabling safe performance of examinations related to the respiratory system, shoulder and pelvic girdles, vertebral column, bony thorax, and plain abdomen. Building upon earlier principles of professional practice, RAD1012 introduces the science necessary for advanced radiographic equipment operation. You will also study radiation dosimetry and safety, ensuring competent operation and performance measurement of diagnostic ionising radiation equipment. Clinical exposure under supervision allows you to apply these principles across a range of indicated examinations.
