Description for 2024/25

The aim of this module is to enable students to understand the principles of positioning and image evaluation for a range of examinations in the appendicular skeleton, the students will integrate these principles and be able to apply them to real world patient scenarios.

Aims
This module aims to teach students the fundamentals of appendicular radiographic positioning and image evaluation, integrating these concepts and aiding in their application to clinical patient care scenarios.
