|MODULE AIMS, ASSESSMENT AND SUPPORT |
|Aims |The module aims to |
| |Equip participants with a systematic approach to the diagnosis of musculoskeletal and |
| |neurological pathologies on imaging. |

|Learning outcomes |On successful completion of the module the student will be able to: |
| |Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the use of different imaging modalities for |
| |musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies |
| |Formulate a differential diagnosis of common musculoskeletal and neurological imaging |
| |presentations in a systematic and critical manner |
| |Demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of the acute and non-acute neurological disease |
| |from a diagnostic perspective |
