Description for 2024/25

This module develops the image evaluation skill of the undergraduate incorporating adapted technique images and the cross-sectional modalities and complex modalities/ imaging. This module will enhance the undergraduate¿s appreciation of anatomy, physiology and pathology allowing development of knowledge in both sensitivity and specificity values of imaging modalities for specific clinical questions.

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 and MRI neurological imaging and trauma imaging projections.
