Below are some sample 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 follow a structured format which comprehensively covers the skills required to offer an informed opinion on x-rays. Sessions are also grouped into courses to enable you to better manage your learning of this e-learning resource.
For more information of the modules, courses and sessions within the project, please refer to the project syllabus (pdf document).
Image Interpretation of the Adult Skeleton
General Anatomy and Biomechanics
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.
Image Interpretation of the Adult Skeleton
Shoulder: Session 1
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.
Image Interpretation of the Adult Skeleton
Shoulder: Session 2
This session examines fractures, dislocations, pathology and normal variants relating to the gleno-humeral joint, clavicle, scapula and humerus.
Image Interpretation of the Adult Skeleton
Shoulder: Session 3
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.
Image Interpretation - Plain X-rays of the Adult Chest
Airspace Opacification
This session looks at airspace disease. It focuses on practical aspects of identification of airspace pathology on chest x-rays, and considers the possible causes for the appearances. Radiographic case studies/examples are used to demonstrate some of the important features.
Image Interpretation of the Paediatric Skeleton
Ankle: Session 1
This session focuses on the anatomy and bone development of the ankle. A systematic approach to assessing x-rays is discussed. The session describes common fractures and dislocations which occur in the ankle and gives examples of normal variants and congenital abnormalities.
Image Interpretation of the Paediatric Skeleton
Ankle: Session 2
This self assessment session tests the learner's understanding of injuries related to the paediatric ankle. It includes questions on anatomy, bone development, assessment of x-rays, fractures, dislocations and normal variants.
