BACHELOR OF PARA MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY (BPMT)

Course Name:- Radiography
Learning Objectives
1st Year
By the end of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Perform all routine x-rays – mobile and steady, medicolegal x-rays, poly-trauma x-
rays.
2. Assist all conventional procedures like IVP, IU, MCU, Barium procedures, HSG, etc.
3. Perform all plain CT Scan of whole body.
4. Assist in CECT, CT angio and CT guided procedures.
5. Perform all plain MRI scans.
6. Assist in contrast enhanced MRI’s, specialised MR sequences.
7. Assist in ultrasonography, in record keeping and patient preparation.*
8. Perform CPR in case of emergencies in department.
9. Describe the radiation hazards, radiation safety issues and relevant administrative
issues.
* Only limited teaching.

Practical examinations should be held in the Parent institute as students have difficulty
when they have to perform practical tests on equipment different from what they have
learned on

2nd Year
At the end of the course the student should be able to explain the theory and do the
practical for the following topics

1) Perform basic CT Imaging of the entire body

2) Assist the radiologist in performing specialized radiological investigations like
Barium studies, IVP, HSG etc.
3) Should have a basic knowledge of the working of the CT scan machine ultrasound
machine,
4) Student should be aware of the PCPNDT act and should be able to assist the
radiologist in the documentation required under the PCPNDT act
5) Should have a basic knowledge of CT anatomy in various planes and should be
able to pick that there is some abnormality in the CT scans during scanning.
Detailed knowledge of abnormality is not expected. Only an understanding that
there is some abnormality in the scan should be expected.
