Overview
This is the fourth and final Imaging Procedures unit in the course. There are two main areas of focus for the unit - adaptation radiography and fluoroscopic procedures. You will build on your knowledge and skills from prior theory units and clinical placements and further develop your problem-solving skills in the planning and execution of imaging procedures on complex patients and in complex environments such as theatre, casualty and wards. A range of fluoroscopic procedures will be discussed with respect to goals, technique, environments and the radiographer's role. You will examine the critical contribution of interpersonal skills such as effective communication and teamwork to the radiographer's ability to perform effectively and efficiently in these procedure areas.

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.

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).

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 MI team teaching team review and unit coordinator reflection.
The written assessment contributed towards increased workload for staff and students.
Investigate the option of alternate assessment design and structure for the written assessment to identify opportunities for reducing complexity and workload for both students.
Feedback from Unit coordinator reflection and student feedback.
Having the mobile assessment earlier in the term was well received by students.
Maintain the timing of mobile assessment to earlier in the term to ease the spread of assessment load on students throughout the term.
Feedback from Unit coordinator reflection
The implementation of the in-class test instead of online open book test supported knowledge consolidation and ensured students demonstrated applied understanding.
Continue this assessment strategy in future iterations.
