Image Acquisition Process Administration Training

Learning Outcomes

• Plan and prepare for image acquisition, including selecting appropriate equipment and configuring settings for specific document types.
• Implement image capture procedures to ensure consistent quality, correct resolution and appropriate file formats.
• Apply quality control checks to verify image integrity, legibility and compliance with organisational standards.
• Manage image file naming, metadata entry and storage according to records management protocols.
• Troubleshoot common image acquisition issues such as poor lighting, skewed scans or file corruption.
• Archive and backup acquired images in accordance with data retention and security policies.

Target Audience

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential for learners to apply administrative and quality control procedures in simulated or real imaging environments. These sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge through direct experience with patient scheduling systems, PACS, QC tests, and safety protocols.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Patient Scheduling and Registration — Learners use a simulated RIS to schedule patients, manage appointments, and process registrations, including handling walk-ins and emergencies. (4h)
• Practical 2: PACS Image Archiving and Retrieval — Learners practice storing, retrieving, and anonymizing images in a PACS environment, ensuring data integrity and security. (6h)
• Practical 3: Quality Control Tests for Imaging Equipment — Learners perform daily and weekly QC tests on a phantom for X-ray and CT, documenting results and identifying deviations. (6h)
• Practical 4: Simulated Contrast Media Administration and Emergency Response — Learners role-play patient preparation for contrast studies, including checking consent and managing a simulated adverse reaction. (4h)
• Practical 5: Internal Audit and Process Improvement — Learners conduct a mock audit of a sample imaging workflow, identify non-conformances, and propose corrective actions. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it
