Description for 2022/23

The aim of this module is to enable apprentices to understand the principles of anatomy, radiographic positioning and image evaluation for a range of examinations within the Axial skeleton. The apprentices will then integrate these principles and be able to apply them to real world patient scenarios.

Aims
This module will introduce the principles of Axial anatomy, radiographic positioning and image interpretation for a range of examinations within the axial¿skeleton¿and the patient care related to these.¿
This module will introduce a¿systematic¿review of axial¿images and introduce¿common pathologies.

Talis Aspire Reading List
Any reading lists will be provided by the start of the course.
