Aims of Module
To enable the student to develop knowledge and understanding of performance measurement in radiographic reporting and the specialist skills required to report trauma images, and images from a range of specialist imaging modalities.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Critically review the principles of performance measurement in radiographic image interpretation.
2 Critically appraise the role of the reporting radiographer in ultrasound, CT and other specialist procedures and modalities.
3 Critically evaluate trauma images from a range of imaging modalities and provide a radiographic opinion of normal and abnormal appearances.
4 Critically evaluate images from a range of specialist modalities and provide a radiographic opinion of normal and abnormal appearances.
