| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| The aim of the module is to enable the participant to develop the knowledge base, interpretive and evaluative skills required for recognition of patho-physiological appearances demonstrated on diagnostic images of the appendicular and axial musculo-skeletal systems. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Interpret and evaluate physiological, pathological and traumatic appearances demonstrated on diagnostic images of the appendicular and axial musculo-skeletal systems. |
| 2 | Critically appraise and communicate patho-physiological and trauma related findings in a holistic manner relative to the clinical presentation of the patient. |
| 3 | Critically assess the factors involved in pattern recognition, image interpretation and the reporting of clinical findings in the context of patho-physiological appearances. |
| 4 | Critically evaluate the significance of normal variant appearances that may be demonstrated on diagnostic images of the appendicular and axial musculo-skeletal systems. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Clinical application of the principles of pattern recognition and image interpretation of diagnostic images of the appendicular and axial musculo-skeletal systems (adult and paediatric); Principles of reporting, specific to the appendicular and axial musculo-skeletal system; Radiological appearances of normal and pathological presentations of the appendicular and axial musculo-skeletal systems; Normal variants; Role of other imaging modalities in the diagnosis of appendicular and axial musculo-skeletal conditions; Radiation dose, protection and risk; Assessment and significance of clinical information in the context of the diagnostic pathway. |
