Description for 2024/25

The aims of the module are to identify and explore the application of magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography and computed tomography at the band 5 level. The module explore and focuses on the role of the radiographer in the ever-changing environment of health promotion.

Aims
The aims of the module are to identify and explore the application of magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography, and computed tomography will be explored including the impact on the service user undergoing these examinations. This will prepare students to work in these modalities when they begin working at band 5.
