This module has an updated learning pathway that can now be stacked towards the Graduate Certificate in Medical Sonography (GCert MS). The GCert MS is also stackable towards SIT’s Master of Health Sciences.
Ultrasound utilises high-frequency waves to generate diagnostic-quality images. This module explores the critical analysis of ultrasound images, focusing on optimising image quality through the application of theoretical understanding in ultrasound physics and instrumentation.
Learners will be familarised with the criteria for diagnostic quality images and acquire strategies to mitigate unwanted imaging artefacts. Additionally, they will develop the ability to identify equipment faults and conduct routine quality assurance checks.
They will also have the opportunity for inter-professional learning during clinical experiences, facilitating the exchange of best practices. This will enhance their skills in recognising image artifacts, optimising image quality, and implementing quality assurance programs. It prepares the learners to become autonomous practitioners capable of safely and competently undertaking advanced practices.
The module offers various learning activities including online lectures, demonstrations, workshops, assignments, and projects to provide a comprehensive learning experience.
