This module will build upon the knowledge of anatomy, pathology, professionalism and image interpretation gained earlier in the programme in preparation for post qualification practice. A blended learning approach which combines e-learning with traditional lectures will enhance the students decision-making skills when reviewing visual information from medical images. This will allow the student to accurately perform a preliminary clinical evaluation of images of the skeleton brain and chest. This term is used to describe the practice of radiographers whereby they assess imaging appearances, make informed clinical judgements and decisions and communicate these in unambiguous written forms to referrers.
The assessment for the module is an electronic assessment which contains a mixture of long answer questions testing theory and short answer questions which require the image interpretation of radiographic images.
