| OQ00CT73 | Mammography and Ultrasound Examinations and Interventions (5 cr) |
| Prerequisites | No prerequisites. |
| Objectives | Part 1, Mammography Examinations and Interventions The student can - explain the principles of implementation and evaluation of screening tests. - explain, how the breast cancer screening is planned, implemented and evaluated by a mammography examination in Finland. - also explain the differences in screening practice between countries. - explain the facts that interrelate with planning, implementation and evaluation of clinical and screening mammography. - explain what are the further mammography examinations and interventions, how they are carried out when examining breast symptoms and what is the role of a radiographer in those situations. - explain the content of patient centered client or patient guidance and education in mammography, in further examinations and in interventions. -can tell how the sustainable development is implemented in mammography, further examinations and interventions. Part 2, Mammography Equipment, Quality Assurance and Radiation Protection Student -explains the function of mammography equipment based on the radiation physics. - applies his / her knowledge in quality assurance, image manipulation and is able to explain patient’s dose optimisation procedures in connection with image quality. - knows the dose quantities in mammography. Part 3, Ultrasound Examinations, Ultrasound Equipment and Quality Assurance The student can - explain, what are the most common ultrasound examinations and interventions in radiologic imaging and understands the radiographers’s responsibility as a team member in those examinations and interventions. - explain the content of client or patient centered guidance and education in most common ultrasound examinations. - apply infection control in ultrasound interventions. - explain the meaning of laboratory tests and medication in planning and implementing of ultrasound specimens and can also explain how radiographer is responsible for specimens. - tell, how the sustainable development is implemented in ultrasound examinations and interventions. - explain the physical fundaments of ultrasound imaging. |
