Description for 2024/25


Aims
This module aims to further develop image evaluation skills of the student incorporating multiple imaging modalities, complex imaging protocols with a specific focus on adapted technique, CT stroke imaging and trauma imaging projections.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Evaluate and discuss the anatomical presentation and variation due to adapted techniques for both appendicular and skeletal imaging projections: 1
Evaluate and discuss additional imaging projections and appraise the justification and optimisation of these images: 1
Review and assess the images from complex and cross-sectional modalities and provide a simple report on these: 1
Align and discuss gross anatomy and pathology with clinical presentation while understanding common variants that may arise: 1
Critically appraise clinical history effects on imaging protocols for cross-sectional and complex imaging: 1

Study hours

Lectures and mock tests in the Jack Ashley Digital Health Hub ~ 20 x 3 hours = 60 hours.
60 hrs session split into specific teaching areas outlined below:
X sectional Image Interpretation ~ 30 hrs
Adapted technique ~ 20 hrs.
Trauma Imaging ~ 4 hrs
Mock examinations~ 6 hrs
Image interpretation workbooks will be provided post in-situ direct delivery of material and case study evaluation.
These workbooks will form the basis of revision and self-directed study with links to on-line image interpretation training sources.
Independent study ~90 hours in preparation for lectures and examination.
*Examination - 2 hrs
*Guided preparation provided in advance to support follow on delivery in situ
*Advise 1 hr preparation pre in situ sessions ~ 60 hrs

Description of Module Assessment

1: Exam weighted 100%
Short answer written examination. An examination format is required to assess clinical competency of image evaluation.
Short answer questions based on images both cross-sectional and plain radiography images. The time frame for the examination is 1.5 hours and will take place on specialised high resolution monitors in the Jack Ashley Digital Health to mirror the clinical environment where these images are usually assessed and interpreted. The number of images will be~10 images with short answers in report form required based on formative work undertaken during lectures in the Jack Ashley Digital Health Hub.

The University undertakes a continuous review of its teaching and research provision to ensure programmes are of a high quality and changes may be made to modules where it is necessary and reasonable to do so. Please be aware that minor changes to modules, such as a change to an individual assessment, can occur up until enrolment, although we endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes. 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/legalgovernancecompliance/governance/actcharterstatutesordinancesandregulations/studenttermsconditions/
