MRSC5050: Advanced Practice in MIS
2024 unit information
This unit of study provides an opportunity to critically explore specific advanced Medical Imaging Science practices including diagnostic ultrasound and image interpretation. It concludes the course with a capstone experience where students will build upon previous units of study to consolidate their professional competencies, learning abilities and the Graduate Qualities of the University. The focus will be on demonstrating specialist knowledge and skills in research-led professional practice, and curating evidence of this through a capstone ePortfolio of achievements.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. employ reflection to scrutinise your personal experience of the master of diagnostic radiography program in its entirety and develop a comprehensive evidence base of accomplishments
- LO2. articulate personal learning skills development, achievement and future learning intentions
- LO3. curate evidence of a range of achievements regarding insights and successes around the university graduate qualities using experiences throughout the master of diagnostic radiography curriculum and relevant extracurricular activities, Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia domains and key elements of fitness to practice, and demonstrations of autonomy and professional judgement within the scope of entry level diagnostic radiography practice
- LO4. provide evidence-based narratives synthesising each of the above achievements
- LO5. develop professional statements of competence, achievement and success suitable for curriculum vitae implementation
- LO6. create an aspirationally focused vision of self as a practicing diagnostic radiography health professional through a personal ePortfolio site
- LO7. describe the physical principles underlying the use of diagnostic ultrasound
- LO8. recognise the features of typical diagnostic ultrasound equipment
- LO9. discuss the role of ultrasound in the context of diagnostic tests
- LO10. recognise the range of routine applications of diagnostic ultrasound
- LO11. discuss aspects of patient care during various methods of ultrasound examination
- LO12. demonstrate the ability to recognise normal anatomical and simple pathological features in ultrasound images in four major areas: abdominal ultrasound, obstetrics and gynaecological ultrasound, ultrasound of superficial structures, and cardiovascular ultrasound
- LO13. recognise the importance of assessing clinical information obtained from patients, from referring clinicians and from previous and current radiographic examinations
- LO14. synthesise information and data in order to arrive at possible diagnoses
- LO15. make critical judgements based upon sound analysis of data about the nature of patients' conditions both pathological, traumatic, acute and chronic
- LO16. demonstrate an understanding of the relationship of image reporting to immediate patient management and to radiological reports
- LO17. identify common medically significant findings that you should convey to other members of the health care team
- LO18. differentiate between normal radiological anatomy and radiological pathology
- LO19. develop a systematic approach in the context of image interpretation, to the assessment of patients' presenting conditions and their physical symptoms.
