Description for 2022/23

The module builds on the anatomy and physiology of the Introduction to the Human Body and introduces the anatomy, physiology and pathology of more complex human body systems. Cross-sectional anatomy is introduced for the more complex imaging modalities taught in this second year of radiographic study.

Aims
The module aims to enable students to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and common pathologies of the following systems: urinary; nervous; neuro-endocrine; gastro-intestinal; reproductive, cardio-vascular and immune systems with reference to radiographic practice and initial image interpretation.

Intended Learning Outcomes

explain the physiology and function of the body¿s organ systems and their function in the maintenance of homeostasis;: 1,4
discuss the rationale for inclusion of routinely used drugs within imaging departments, including the pharmacology, their purpose and contraindications.: 1,4
discuss the consequences of individual organ and systems failure, and describe common pathologies of each organ and system;
: 1,2,3,4

Study hours

60 hours of tutor led learning and teaching:
~51 hours of lectures,
~ 5 hours in the anatomy suite,
~ 4 hours of revision/ exam preparation classes
70 hours of independent study:
~10 hours directed self study of which 6 hours are asynchronous lectures
~60 hours self directed study

It is anticipated that study hours will include approximately 70 hours of practice experience. This is derived from a total of 413 hours, averaged across all six assessed modules in year 2.

Description of Module Assessment

1: Exam weighted 100%
Written exam
2 hour written exam, made up of 2 sections: Section A: multiple choice questions (20% weighting). Section B: Students choose 4 out of 6 questions to be answered (80% weighting) - 4 relate directly to anatomy and physiology, 2 relate to common pathology Examination is required to be in-situ in the Jack Ashley Digital Health Hub or the Darwin Suite as the examination uses highly specialised monitors with high resolution since the images that are used are of reporting quality to show subtle pathologies as seen in the clinical environment in cross-sectional and plain radiography.

2: Practice Based Assessment weighted 0%
Portfolio B: Radiographic Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to assessment of specific radiographic practice competencies undertaken during Practice Experience.

3: Practice Based Assessment weighted 0%
Portfolio C: Clinical Assessment Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to the six mandatory clinical assessments undertaken (twice) during Practice Experience. Year 2 competencies: shoulder, pelvis/hips, cervical spine, lumbar spine, abdomen & mobile.

4: Oral Exam weighted 0%
Portfolio E: Oral Examination 40 mins
Assesses those aspects of student knowledge and application mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to abdomen, simple trauma (appendicular including shoulder & hips) and mobile imaging undertaken by the student during Practice Experience.

Please note that for the 2022/23 Academic Year programmes may be adapted to operate in accordance with a flexible, digital approach. This means that there may be some changes made to how modules are delivered and assessed. The latest information will be provided to you by your School in module handbooks. We endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes and details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/student-terms-and-conditions/
