Module summary

This module builds on the information the student gained from level 1 in HECS 1028 Musculoskeletal anatomy and radiographic pattern recognition. The module focuses on the normal anatomy, and physiology and pathology of the respiratory system, upper digestive tract, endocrine, cardio-vascular system in relation to the head, neck, thorax and upper limbs, central nervous systems. The incorporation of the anatomy and physiology with the sectional imaging is intended to reinforce the clinical applications for great relevance for the students. This will enable the students to develop their image interpretation skills in more complex areas of imaging.

Objectives

The aim of this module is to build on the information gained from level 1. This module focuses on the normal anatomy, physiology and pathology of the respiratory system, cardio-vascular system in relation to the head, neck, thorax and upper limbs, central nervous systems. The application to practice of the anatomy and physiology with the sectional imaging is intended to further develop the students understanding of the subject. This approach will enable the students to develop their image interpretation skills in more complex areas of imaging. The approach is a region centred one to further reflect anatomical demonstration in diagnostic imaging.

Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this module the student will have gained knowledge of:

1. Describe the normal anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, upper digestive tract, endocrine, cardio-vascular system in relation to the head, neck, thorax and upper limbs, breast and associated lymphatic drainage, central nervous, cranium and relate these to their location on the surface of individuals in professional practice.
2. Identify anatomical features as presented on diagnostic images of the head, neck, thorax and upper limbs;
3. Relate structural specialisation to function in the regions.
4. Understand the biological perspectives of health and disease
5. Relate common anatomical image appearance of the head, neck, thorax and upper limbs (nerves and vessels) to image production by the various imaging modalities
6. Describe how pathological manifestations of the head, neck, thorax and upper limbs (nerves and vessels), are represented on diagnostic images.
7. Demonstrate a systematic approach to image evaluation of the adult chest
8. Produce a preliminary evaluation on normal / abnormal cases with respect to radiographic images of the thorax.

Skills outcomes
Develop knowledge of the head, neck and thorax.

Further develop fundamental analytical skills required for image interpretation through the application of anatomical knowledge of the head, neck and thorax

Private study

The 152 hours private study that has been allocated to you for this module is to enable you to prepare and supplement your notes for this module, as well as complete the workbooks associated with this module and allow you to prepare and undertake both formative and summative assessments. The breakdown of hours for the activities identified is as follows:

72 hours reading/ writing up notes
12 hours Work book completion
15 hours tutorial preparation
53 hours assessment and preparation

Please note that the above hours are a guideline and students may require additional time for the activities.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

During the module the student will be required to undertake course work. This will help develop their learning and prepare them for the summative assessment. This will take the form of:

Completion of workbooks: - use the labels provide to identify structures on the line drawings. Be able to relate these labels and line drawing appearances to the radiographic appearance found on the powerpoint presentation in the VLE. Keeping up to date with the head, neck and thorax session will greatly aid the student with this activity and assist them in applying the knowledge to practce.

Film viewing and commenting: - this aspect is to introduce and begin to develop the students ability to comment on radiographs of the head, neck and thorax.

Tutorials:- the tutorials are designed to help the student with identifying problem areas and providing them with a structured approach to aid their understanding of the topics covered. For these sessions to be of use it is important that students take an active part in identifying areas of difficulty a couple of weeks prior to the scheduled tutorial.

Formative assessment: - the intention of the formative assessment is to provide students with experience of the format of the assessment, in order to fully prepare them for the summative assessment.

Feedback on formative assessment: - this is an indication as to the amount of work students have done or need to do and areas to concentrate on.

Methods of assessment

Exams

Exam type	Exam duration	% of formal assessment
Standard exam (closed essays, MCQs etc)	1 hr 30 mins	60.00
Practical Exam / OSCE	1 hr 00 mins	40.00
Total percentage (Assessment Exams)		100.00

The summative assessment consists of two components an Unseen examination and an OSE . The Unseen examination contributes 60% of the marks for the module and the OSE contributes the other 40%. There is compensation between the two components with an overall mark of 40 requiring to be achieved for the two. Both components must be attempted and a threshold mark of 30 must be achieved in order for compensation to be applied.
