Statement of Aims
The overall aim of this unit is to provide students with the opportunity to apply their existing anatomical knowledge in the context of diagnostic imaging of normal and abnormal tissue.
Description
This Unit enables students to develop an understanding of diagnostic imaging techniques with relevance to both human and animal anatomy. It considers the appearance of normal and abnormal anatomy via a variety of diagnostic imaging modalities, the terminology used in its description, underlying principles of technique, and further application. Lectures in diagnostic imaging are supplemented by practicals and demonstrations of techniques in action. Understanding and awareness of technique and application is reinforced by case-based discussion.
At the end of the unit students should be able to:
Portfolio (75 %) (ILOs 1-8)
Portfolio presentation (5 %) (ILOs 1-8)
1 hour online exam (20 %) (ILOs 1-6)
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. ANAT20006).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
