Description
This course is a study in radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging of the body systems. Methodology III will explore the importance and application of contrast media in the visualization of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, reproductive, musculoskeletal, central nervous and cardiovascular system. This course will enhance the fundamental knowledge and skills acquired in Radiographic Methodology I and II pertaining to positioning, patient care, image assessment, and radiation protection. Anatomical variants and pathology pertaining to the systems covered in this course will be discussed. This course is a combination of both theory (classroom based) and practice (laboratory).

Target Competency
Determine the appropriate examination and the corresponding positions/projections used to demonstrate each of the systems being studied. Provide correct preparatory steps and post-procedural instructions/management techniques required for each radiologic procedure. Demonstrate safe radiation protection practices.

Directions
Each group will be responsible for researching an assigned imaging procedure and presenting it to the class. The group should use 10 minutes (up to a maximum of 15 minutes) to discuss and illustrate the assigned radiological procedure. There will be at least 5 minutes for questions at the end of the 15 minute time allotment. As a group, plan your presentation and prepare a written student handout listing: 1. Overview of the procedure, 2. Indications/contraindications, 3. Equipment and supplies, 4. Contrast media 5. Sequence of procedure, 6. Patient managementpre and post procedural instructions and care (this will be handed in week 11). Your presentation should follow a clear outline as indicated in the grading rubric. The presentation format is up to each group to decide, so be creative. You could use role play, a talk-show format, a traditional group format, or something altogether different. Presentations are meant to evoke discussion and stimulate new ideas from the listeners. If possible, get the audience involved: ask questions, incorporate a video clip, conduct a mini quiz, etc. All group members should contribute in some way (if not speaking, then by preparing the PowerPoint slides, handouts, etc.). Submission on week 11 to the course supervisor in electronic copy (either via email or CD format),must include: 1. final copy of PowerPoint slides 2. A list of items required for your presentation (i.e. LCD unit, VCR or DVD player, overhead projector, laser pointer, flip-chart, etc.) should be submitted to the course instructor one week in advance of your presentation. 3. Student Handout The purpose of this Group Project Presentation is to provide students with the opportunity to gain experience working in small groups, encourage self-directed learning, and learn more about their future profession. The Formative Group Peer Evaluation is to be completed for each of your group members to provide feedback on their teamwork skills. The group as a whole will be evaluated on the presentation by the course instructors using the Group project evaluation form and be assigned a grade. All students in the group will receive the same mark. However, if it is found that a group member has not contributed reasonably that student might be asked to resubmit part or all of the assignment individually. This group project presentation will occur during Radiographic Methodology III in week 12 or during lecture time.
