Module summary

This module will provide a comprehensive overview of the ionising radiation regulations in the UK and their application in practice. The use of 2D and 3D imaging modalities employed in the dental and maxillofacial region will be explored including digital radiography, Cone Beam CT and MRI, together with their use in the diagnosis of common pathologies in the dental and maxillofacial region. The module will be delivered using a blended approach with asynchronous recorded lectures and synchronous seminars and tutorials to consolidate learning. There will be a formative in-course assessment as well as an end of module summative assessment.

Objectives

The module aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the ionising radiation regulations in the UK and their application in practice, the 2D and 3D imaging modalities employed in the dental and maxillofacial region and the principles of diagnosis and interpretation of pathologies in the dental and maxillofacial region.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the course students will be able to:
1. demonstrate an understanding of the UK ionising radiation regulations and their application in clinical practice
2. describe the modalities employed in imaging of the dental and maxillofacial region
3. describe and interpret common pathologies of the dental & maxillofacial region on multiple imaging modalities

Skills outcomes
Diagnosis and interpretation of pathologies of the dental & maxillofacial region on 2D and 3D imaging.
