MRTY1037: Imaging Technology 1

2027 unit information

Students will gain knowledge relating to X-ray equipment components, exposure factors, automatic exposure control (AEC), radiographic grids, and to demonstrate their ability to evaluate image quality, with a focus on optimising exposure factors, contrast, and brightness. The 鈥榙igital image鈥� will be explored in terms of spatial and intensity resolution, bit depth, matrix size, spatial frequency, and image manipulation techniques such as window levelling and the use of look-up tables (LUTs). Additionally, the unit will cover PACS workflows, DICOM standards, and image storage and communication protocols. By the end of the unit, students will demonstrate proficiency in evaluating image quality and applying radiographic techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.

Learning outcomes

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. Identify and describe the x-ray machine, instrumentation, equipment, and the various accessories within an x-ray room.
LO2. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR) and how they are used to produce diagnostic radiographs.
LO3. Understand the radiation risk from different x-ray modalities and best clinical practice to optimise patient safety.
LO4. Evaluate radiographic images using radiographic criteria and apply learning to practice.
LO5. Relate the workflow in radiology information systems and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) to the patient pathway.
LO6. Understand digital image concepts and manipulation techniques including spatial resolution, intensity/contrast resolution, histogram of exposures, and look-up tables (LUT).
LO7. Demonstrate basic understanding of digital image processing and the concept of spatial frequency.
