This unit develops students' understanding of pathology as visualised in medical images. The topics covered in this unit focus on the major pathologies in the clinical practice of diagnostic imaging.
1. Demonstrate a developed understanding of the structure, function and pathology of the human body as it relates to medical imaging;
2. Synthesise an understanding of imaging appearances, aetiology, epidemiology and patient management options for imaging related pathologies;
3. Demonstrate a general understanding of the relationship between the pathlogies and initial understanding of differential diagnoses with respect to diagnostic imaging procedures; and
4. Synthesise an understanding of the social, ethical, legal and cultural issues relating to pathologies.
