  • Conventional ‘essay-style’ assignment
  • Article format, suitable for submission to a peer reviewed journal
  • Case-study
  • Clinical portfolio
  • Dissertation
  • Multiple choice/assertion reasoning
  • Image evaluation.

Employability

Modules

This module is core for all students studying the PgC/PgD/MSc pathways. The aim of this module is to enable health care professionals to develop an understanding of the principles of image perception and decision making factors, awareness of error by investigating the ways in which decision making error occurs in diagnostic imaging relative to the common processes adopted in clinical practice. The implications for practice are considered from abnormality signalling through to written reporting, for integration within a modern healthcare system.
