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 Appendicular 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 Appendicular anatomy, radiographic positioning and image interpretation for a range of examinations within the appendicular ¿skeleton¿and the patient care related to these.¿ This module will introduce a¿systematic¿review of appendicular ¿images and introduce¿common pathologies.
Intended Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate knowledge of appropriate biological science underpinning the study of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human body: 1,2Demonstrates a detailed knowledge of the normal anatomy of the bony appendicular skeleton and its associated joints including radiographic appearances and common pathological processes: 1,2Undertake a range of fundamental examinations of the Appendicular skeleton under supervision while practicing safely in relation to IR(ME)R17: 1,2Recognise poor radiographic image quality and demonstrate how to manipulate technical factors to improve this: 1,2Demonstrate the importance of and an ability to communicate effectively in a collaborative environment and undertakefundamental patient care: 1,2Undertake a systematic review of Appendicular plain images: 1,2Demonstrate the ability to clinically evaluate and systematically assess the technical quality of plain radiographic images of theAppendicular skeleton including recognition of normal anatomy and common pathologies.: 1,2
