Below are six sessions from Image Interpretation, which like all Image Interpretation sessions, have been written by subject specialists. They demonstrate how the e-learning works, how multimedia features like animation are used to support the learning and how learners can check their understanding of a subject through assessment.
The sessions in the appendicular and axial skeleton blocks follow a structured format which comprehensively covers the skills required to offer an informed opinion on adult x-rays. These include: anatomy, clinical presentations, mechanisms of injury, radiological examination, fractures, dislocations, pathology and normal variants. Depending on the part of anatomy covered, these sections are covered over one, two or three sessions.
The content in each section is supported by appropriate imagery; animations show how mechanisms of injury occur, photographs demonstrate radiographic technique, anatomy is depicted in colourful detail, and x-rays are included in all sections to build up the learner’s familiarity with, and ability to identify, patterns. Each part of the anatomy ends with a self assessment session which retests the learning objectives from the content session(s), includes a sample case study with a written report, and concludes with a series of x-ray images to ‘hot report’ on.
This session describes bone structure and its radiographic appearance, the classification of bones and joints, the function of ligaments and tendons, basic principles of skeletal biomechanics, and how these relate to image interpretation.
This session examines injuries related to the gleno-humeral joint, clavicle, scapula and humerus. It focuses on anatomy, mechanisms of injury, clinical presentations and radiographic technique.
This session examines fractures, dislocations, pathology and normal variants relating to the gleno-humeral joint, clavicle, scapula and humerus.
This self assessment session tests the learner's understanding of injuries related to the gleno-humeral joint, clavicle, scapula and humerus. It includes questions on anatomy, mechanisms of injury, clinical presentations, radiographic technique, fractures, dislocations, pathology and normal variants.
This session examines injuries related to the carpal bones. It focuses on anatomy, mechanisms of injury, clinical presentations, radiographic technique, fractures, dislocations, pathology and normal variants.
This self assessment session tests the learner’s understanding of injuries related to the carpal bones. It includes questions on anatomy, mechanisms of injury, clinical presentations, radiographic technique, fractures, dislocations, pathology and normal variants.
