| 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 head and neck, musculoskeletal system, cardiorespiratory and vascular systems, genito-urinary systems and the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Analyse pathologies of the head and neck, musculoskeletal system, cardiorespiratory and vascular systems, genito-urinary systems and the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs. |
| 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 pathologies of the head and neck, musculoskeletal system, cardiorespiratory and vascular systems, genito-urinary systems and the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs. |
| 4 | Evaluate the radiographic appearances of a range of specialist modality images of the head and neck, musculoskeletal system, cardiorespiratory and vascular systems, genito-urinary systems and the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs. |
| 5 | Discuss advances and future trends in the application of specialist imaging modalities and how they may influence the diagnosis and/or treatment of pathologies of the head and neck, musculoskeletal system, cardiorespiratory and vascular systems, genito-urinary systems and the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs. |
