Module summary

This module builds on the information the student gained from level 1 and 2, to further develop the student's appreciation of radiological presentation of a variety of injuries and pathologies. The inextricable linkage with HECS 3078 Pathophysiology enables the student to appreciate the development of a pathological process prior to the visualisation on radiographic images. Through the critical assessment of radiographic images the students can follow the radiological changes over time and relate these to the pathophysiological process. This module will provided the student with the underpinning skills required for commenting, that will be undertaken in the Professional Practice III.

Objectives

On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

evaluate the factors involved in radiographic pattern recognition;
evaluate patterns of injury;
evaluate patterns of disease;
critically assess radiographs for radiological demonstration of pathology and injury;
explore the radiographers contribution to the patients pathway.

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

factors involved in radiographic pattern recognition;
patterns of injury;
patterns of disease;
assessing radiographs for radiological demonstration of pathology and injury;
the radiographers contribution to the patients pathway.

Syllabus

Decision making, Limitations and confidence, Patterns of disease and injury and deviation from normality, Principles of Pattern Recognition and Report Writing, influences on image interpretation, Skeletal pathology, Chest and Abdominal pathology and injury.

The breakdown of hours for the activities identified is as follows:

48 hours reading/ writing up notes
5 hours negotiated tutorials
25 hours assessment

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

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

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

Practical: - this allows for discussion to permit the development of rationales to accept various points of view and develop justification to support the students view. Allows the student to practice their commenting of skills.

Assignment discussion:- the student is strongly encouraged to discuss outlines of their assignment with the module team. This is to enable the student to clarify aspects of the guidelines as well as discussing various approaches to be adopted.

Group learning:- students are to bring along cases for discussion with clinical experts.

Essay	5,000 words. The summative assessment for this module is an integrated essay where the student is required to synthesise information from modules HECS 3198 Radiographic Anatomy and Diagnostic Pattern Recognition and HECS 3078 Pathophysiology. The student should remember that both modules are equally weighted and as such should ensure their assignment reflects this balance.	100.00
