Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
| 1. |
Critically evaluate the contribution of cross sectional and interventional imaging modalities to the diagnostic profile of radiological investigations.
|
| 2. |
Discuss the processes and clinical applications involved in cross sectional imaging and interventional imaging, relating this to the various facets associated with effective patient management in these modalities
|
| 3. |
Critically evaluate the radiographic appearances of a range of cross sectional and interventional images.
|
| 4. |
Critically appraise the nature and importance of team working in cross sectional imaging
