Non-contrast Special radiography :

UNIT 1 . Paediatric Imaging: special needs of patient and radiographer- use of dedicated equipment and accessories-modified technical considerations – selection of exposure factors image quality considerations᎓ radiation protection of the patient – special techniques in children for contrast studies.

UNIT 2. Geriatric radiography Equipment and accessories ᎓ exposure factor considerations in special care. Elderly patients profile – difficulties during radiography ᎓ technical considerations projections with unconventional special positioning.

UNIT 3. Trauma/Emergency Radiography Selection of suitable X-Ray equipment ᎓ patient position -radiographic projections and sequence for each patient ᎓ modification of routine positioning᎓ radiation protection ᎓ patient care.

UNIT 4. Operation theatre radiography O.T procedures-Operative cholangiography ᎓ orthopaedic procedures maintenance of asepsis ᎓ preparation of radiographer and equipment/accessories᎓ careful safe use of mobile and fluoroscopic equipment ᎓ radiation protection patient care ᎓ rapid availability of radiographic image-cooperation with OT staff type of studies done -clinical applications – clinical applications- per operative radiographs- peroperative fluoroscopy studies -patient care-radiation protection of all staff.

Contrast radiography : Radiological contrast media ᎓ classification -need for radiological contrast media methods of administration-dosage-reactions to contrast media- role of radiographer in management of patient with contrast reaction. For all contrast investigations-patient preparation, positioning, patient care during the study-post procedural patient care-types of contrast media used and dosage alternative contrast used-side effects and its identification-treatment of complication during the procedure – pathological conditions- indications and contraindications- injection procedure ᎓techniques for radiographic projections radiographic appearances᎓ radiation protection.
