Reassessment
In accordance with the University's Code of Assessment reassessments are normally set for all courses which do not contribute to the honours classifications. For non-honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt.
This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students, and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions are listed below..
Main Assessment In: April/May
Are reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? No
Reassessment of the main diet examination is normally available for students on PGT degree programmes if they do not achieve an overall course grade of C3 at their first attempt.
Reassessment of the main diet examination is normally available for students on designated BSc degree programmes if they do not achieve an overall course grade of D3 at their first attempt. Reassessment of the main diet examination is not normally available for students on Honours degree programmes.
Reassessment is not normally allowed, for practical reasons, for any other assessed components of coursework.
Course Aims
The aims of this course are:
To describe the key physical principles of medical imaging
To explore the theory of medical imaging techniques in disease detection and diagnosis, monitoring of clinical procedures and monitoring response to therapy
to describe practical examples and applications of the most important imaging techniques.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this course students will be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Medical Imaging through the description and analysis of processes, relationships and techniques relevant to the following topics: basic imaging principles, including pixellation, linearity and stationarity; image noise and sensitivity; ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging; radiology; nuclear medicine and tomographic techniques.
Write down and, where appropriate, either prove or explain the underlying basis of physical laws relevant to the course topics, discussing their applications and appreciating their relation to the topics of other courses taken.
Apply the ideas and techniques developed in the lectures to solve general classes of problems which may include straightforward unseen elements.
Minimum Requirement for Award of Credits
Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment.
