Module Aims
This module aims to develop clinical deductive reasoning for a variety of orthopaedic and general pathological conditions. Correlating the history, physical examination of reported signs and symptoms, reports from laboratory findings to the radiographic signs. Students will learn to apply and develop their knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiological sequel of events which transpire for the radiographic and physical findings to occur.
This module aims to develop clinical image interpretation skill required to recognise, describe and critically evaluate various pathological states relevant to chiropractic.
This module aims to prepare students to read and interpret official radiology reports.
This module aims to educate students with the imaging referral pathways as per the most current legislations and regulations aligning with the GCC Education standards
