Reporting – Radiographic Appearances of Musculoskeletal Pathophysiology and Trauma level 11

Program Overview

---

This module will be of value to radiographers and other professionals who require to develop a knowledge base related to patho-physiological appearances in conventional diagnostic imaging.

This course will enable you to develop skills in appraisal and communicate patho-physiological and trauma related findings relative to the clinical presentation of the patient. You will also be able to critically assess the factors involved in pattern recognition, image interpretation and the reporting of clinical findings, as well as understand the significance of normal variant appearances.

Program Outline

Clinical application of the principles of pattern recognition and image interpretation of diagnostic images of the appendicular and axial musculo−skeletal systems

Principles of reporting, specific to the appendicular and axial musculo−skeletal system

Radiological appearances of normal and pathological presentations of the appendicular and axial musculo−skeletal systems

Role of other imaging modalities in the diagnosis of appendicular and axial musculo−skeletal conditions

Normal variant conditions

Assessment and significance of clinical information in the context of the patient’s diagnostic pathway
