Course overview
This course has been set up with the ultimate aim of producing high
quality Radiology trainees are required to assimilate a large body of
knowledge with which they will have been previously unfamiliar over a
relatively short timescale, including detailed knowledge of imaging
physics and anatomy as well as the full spectrum of disease processes and
associated imaging features. The three clinical modules of the course
provide a thorough grounding in these essential areas of knowledge.
Generic professional skills do not always receive sufficient focus in
everyday radiology training. Furthermore, despite the rapid advances
being made in imaging technology, the number of radiologists actively
engaged in high quality research remains small. The three professional
modules of the course develop skills in the key domains of research,
leadership and teaching. The dissertation component of the MSc provides
the opportunity to undertake a supervised, high quality piece of research
in a chosen subspecialty area.
Entry requirements:
- Bachelor in a Biological/Physical Science, or Radiography or degree in
Medicine or Dentistry.
Program specification:
The M Sc is designed not only for recent graduates preparing for a career
in medical imaging, but also for professionals already working in the field
who may attend on a part-time basis. It aims to cover all aspects of
medical imaging, from the basic physics involved, in different modalities,
image formation, pattern recognition and applications within the field of
Radiology.
By the end of this program students should be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the physical and
mathematical aspects of image formation of several techniques;
- Identify the anatomical and physiological properties of tissue associated
with image formation and contrast for several techniques;
- Analyse and compare the technical performance of various modalities
and
understand
the
health
and
safety
considerations;
- Demonstrate an in-depth and advanced understanding of the clinical
applications of each technique, the variables involved and how they can
be compared;
- Apply IT in literature searching, analysis and display of data, and report
writing to enhance life-long learning in medical imaging;
- Demonstrate enhancement of their professional skills in communication,
problem-solving, learning effectively and quickly, and effective selfmanagement;
- Critically evaluate relevant published work, demonstrating an
understanding of the underpinning principles of statistics, project design
and data analysis;
- Carry our research directly or indirectly related to the discipline of
Medical Imaging part of which includes the development of a research
question/hypothesis, critical review, the choosing and application of an
appropriate investigative method, presentation of results and finally a
critical discussion of the findings with a conclusion.
Assessment
Achievement for the degree of Master (taught program) will be assessed
by a variety of methods in accordance with the learning outcomes of the
modules specified for the year/program and will involve the achievement
of the students in:
- evidencing an ability to conduct independent in-depth enquiry within
the discipline via a Research Project;
- demonstrating the ability to apply breadth and/or depth of knowledge to
a complex specialist area via an unseen written exam;
- drawing on a range of perspectives on an area of study via a Research
Project;
- evaluating and criticising received opinion via written essays and
presentations;
- making reasoned judgements whilst understanding the limitations on
judgements made in the absence of complete data via written essays and
presentations.
