On successful completion of this module the student should be able to describe and explain the performance of standard projection radiographs of the chest, abdomen, skull, facial bones, dental region and spine, including:

- Describing key justification criteria / clinical indications / dose optimisation criteria and appropriate practical methods of radiation protection for skeletal radiography.
- Identifying and explaining appropriate projections for specific clinical indications for imaging the femur and pelvis, spine, abdomen, skull and facial bones.
- Explaining technical, patient and pathological factors influencing preparation and choice of technique
- Describe standard radiographic techniques (including factors such as patient positioning, equipment use and exposure factors) using correct terminology
- Discussing relevant radiation protection and patient care practices
- Appraising the technical quality of radiographic images, including clinical acceptability and potential for improvement
- Locate normal and some abnormal anatomical appearances in relevant radiographs with accuracy and reasonable consistency.
- Students will learn to work within a professional team to complete tasks associated with the module content.

This module contributes to the professional accredited pathway leading to BSc in Radiography. The theories studied in this module are closely related to the practical skills to be further developed in Clinical Practice of Radiography I.

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment

1. Live class feedback following mid-semester oral examination and individual feedback to failing students. 2. Individual feedback via grading rubric for each radiographic image submitted. Individual feedback will be available through Brightspace and by using rubrics for the 2DVR assignments.
