Unit Learning Outcomes assessed:
1. Explain and assess the basic design and practical working conditions of alternate imaging instruments employing radiation for appropriate use in regard to maximising clinical utilisation and minimising radiation and electromechanical risks
2. Critically assess the safe working conditions of specialised instruments in regard to radiation protection, electromechanical safety, appropriate regulations or standards
3. Implement and evaluate a basic quality assurance program on specialised x-ray imaging equipment to ensure accurate and safe outcomes
The purpose of this writing assignment is to encourage students to apply the knowledge of safe operation of specialised X-ray imaging equipment learnt from the unit into the clinical workplace. The safe operation of equipment encompasses the aspects of radiation protection, electromechanical safety and clinical utilisation in compliance with appropriate regulations and standards. Awareness and practice of safe operation are crucial in imaging practice. Infringement may lead to serious issues such as injury and even death.
Quality Assurance (QA) program is one way to
minimize the likelihood of occurrence of such issues (Option 1).
Another preventive measure is education to increase practitioners? awareness and knowledge (Option 2).
you can select Option 2. In this option, students are required to identify a particular X-ray imaging system (e.g. manufacturer A ? model YYY mobile X-ray machine) through different manufacturers? websites (some examples are given below) and develop a safe operation guide for it. The identified system must be within the ranges of systems for
portable / mobile radiography, tomography, fluoroscopy, mammography and angiography. The main function of this guide is to educate practitioners the safe operation principles of a particular system. The following is the list of suggested
