| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| The aim of this module is to enable the student to develop knowledege and understanding of specialist imaging modalities in the diagnostic and interventional radiological profile of acute and chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, integumentary, lymphatic and immune systems. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Analyse pathologies of the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, integumentary, lymphatic and immune systems. |
| 2 | Analyse the relevant diagnostic and treatment applications of CT, MRI, ultrasound, radionuclide imaging and interventional radiological procedures. |
| 3 | Evaluate the outcomes of specialist imaging modalities to a range of musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, integumentary, lymphatic and immune pathologies. |
| 4 | Evaluate the radiographic appearances of a range of specialist modality images of the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, integumentary, lymphatic and immune systems. |
| 5 | Discuss advances and future trends in the application of specialist imaging modalities and how they may influence the diagnosis and/or treatment of musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, integumentary, lymphatic and immune pathologies. |
