Bringing literature to life : a digital animation to teach analogue concepts in radiographic imaging during a pandemic - lessons learnt

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution is upon us, bringing with it modern trends and new imaging equipment and techniques to radiography. While resource-rich institutions have successfully moved from analogue to digital equipment, many institutions in resource-constrained countries still depend on analogue equipment to deliver radiographic services to their communities. Radiography relies heavily on analogue and digital machines to create images for diagnostic purposes, and it is important that radiography students are trained in both these aspects to align their skills with the available resources in different healthcare settings. Undergraduate radiography students in our department have to attend both work-integrated learning and formal face-to-face contact sessions.
