Aims
The aims of the module are to identify and explore the application of imaging within the context of trauma management and the management of more complex patients. Trauma imaging, mobile radiography, theatre radiography, interventional radiography, fluoroscopy and radionuclide imaging will be explored including the impact on the service user undergoing these examinations.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Evaluate the role of the radiographer within a multidisciplinary team while undertaking trauma imaging, mobile radiography, theatre radiography, interventional radiography, fluoroscopy and radionuclide imaging: 1
Discuss the range of techniques required in mobile and fluoroscopic procedures and their appropriate application: 1
Undertake a range of radiographic examinations requiring adaptation of technique and supplementary projections, under appropriate supervision for radiation safety purposes: 1
Demonstrate attention to the needs of service users and work safely in trauma, mobile and fluoroscopic examinations: 1
Demonstrate an understanding of radiation safety and apply these principles to trauma imaging, mobile radiography, theatre radiography, interventional radiography, fluoroscopy and radio-nuclide imaging: 1
Understand and apply the importance of quality assurance to imaging and technique: 1
