Course objectives:

Neuroimaging is emerging as a new important sub-discipline in the study of the human brain in health and disease. In the Medical sciences it plays a prominent role in the detection and diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric illnesses and in the evaluation of treatments. The techniques are becoming increasingly sophisticated and there is a high demand for well-trained professionals. This part-time certificate course offers post-qualification training for health professionals. It is one of the few courses in the UK that offers a foundation in functional neuroanatomy, diagnostic brain imaging and research skills in anatomical and functional brain imaging including: functional MRI, anatomical imaging, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, and spectroscopy. The programme has a strong emphasis on practical skills. In a dedicated computer laboratory, the students learn and practice analysis and imaging techniques. Under supervision of our world-class academic staff, students design their own imaging studies, which are run on the in-house 3T MRI scanner.

Course objectives:

This module forms part of the postgraduate certificate pathway in Computed Tomography (CT). The module will provide a structured and monitored experiential learning opportunity that will enable the student to critically evaluate CT protocols used in clinical practice and to develop their pattern recognition skills and ability to evaluate CT images. The learning in the module will utilise the knowledge and understanding gained in the pre requisite modules and apply it to the students own clinical practice. The students will undertake routine CT examinations of a wide range of anatomical regions/systems for a variety of clinical indications, gaining experience of advanced practice where applicable in their clinical placement. In addition the student will complete a record of clinical experience and undertake work-based projects/case studies as part of learning process which will include a critical appraisal of published literature. Tutorials will be used to facilitate sharing of information by students and learning from each other. The VLE will be used to support the students learning and to facilitate sharing and collaboration in problem solving. OSCE style assessment is a University based assessment which will involve the students responding in writing to written questions based on case studies, with accompanying medical images. The modules computed tomography protocols and computed tomography technology are pre or co-requisites for study of this module.  This module also requires students to spend a significant amount of time in a clinical CT department. It is therefore expected that applicant's current employment will include duties in a CT department. This module forms part of the postgraduate certificate pathway in Computed Tomography (CT).

Course objectives:

This full-time MSc pathway is a modular programme encompassing a broad range of academic modules related to medical imaging, health care, research and management. The programme is delivered by the Division of Radiography academic team in partnership with clinical and scientific experts working within specialised areas of medical imaging to ensure the curriculum remains appropriately diverse and clinically relevant. Education within the clinical environment is not a component of the course and on successful completion, students will not be eligible to apply for Health Professions Council (HPC) registration. However, upon successful completion of the MSc Imaging in Medicine, students will have the knowledge and understanding necessary to work at an advanced level of practice within their chosen medical imaging discipline and apply learning to international health communities to inform health service practice and delivery.  Students wishing to study modules that require clinical experience (see module portfolio) must arrange a clinical placement prior to registering on the module. The Division of Radiography is unable to negotiate clinical placements on behalf of students. Students following this programme should not expect to be able to study modules requiring a clinical placement. It should also be noted that this award is not approved by the UK Health professions Council and therefore does not lead to eligibility to apply for registration as a radiographer.
