Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
In this unit, you will build upon your anatomical knowledge by examining the gross, topographical and relational anatomy of the human body. Additionally, you will gain a foundational understanding of medical imaging modalities and how they are applied in clinical scenarios. You will then apply your knowledge on human anatomy by reviewing the spatial characteristics of and relationship between anatomical structures, body planes, external and internal landmarks to interpret medical images at a foundational level. This unit will cover basic pattern and image recognition skills to enable you to identify normal anatomical structures and common pathologies on medical images, including cross-sectional images, acquired in multiple planes.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites: BMSC11007, BMSC11008 and BMSC12007
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2025
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 12-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE and staff reflection
The content and unit was challenging, however all aspects were extremely relevant for future studies and career.
Maintain and enhance delivery with additional practical and tutorial exercises.
Feedback from SUTE and staff reflection
Organisation and delivery of assessments and scheduling could be enhanced.
Enhanced organisation of timetabling, scheduling and assessment item clarity have been developed and enhanced.
Feedback from SUTE and staff reflection
More opportunities for practice assessments to build confidence.
Practice assessments have been further enhanced and will be supported by an updated organisational structure of delivery.
- Use clinical terminology to correctly identify and distinguish, the spatial orientation of, and relationship between, anatomical structures, body planes, external and internal landmarks
- Understand the basic processes of image production and risks associated with each of the major diagnostic imaging modalities and when they are clinically indicated for use in investigating common pathologies
- Use clinical terminology to correctly identify and articulate the appearance of normal anatomical structures and features on a range of imaging modalities
- Use clinical terminology to correctly identify and articulate the appearance of common pathologies on a range of imaging modalities
