Clinical Imaging
The Clinical Imaging programme equips you with the skills to interpret radiological images correctly. It is relevant to radiographers, ultrasonographers and other healthcare professionals across the world.
The programme has been developed in the UK by the College of Radiographers and Health Education England elearning for healthcare.
A high-quality online radiography course
You can use the sessions to develop your skills in radiography, CT, MRI and ultrasound. There are also sessions on patient care, consent, clinical governance and professional development. The sessions are highly interactive, with images, video clips, animations and self-assessment questions to help embed learning and understanding.
Test your interpretation skills using real clinical data
You can view images from real medical cases and test your interpretation skills. This helps you to better understand the wide-ranging and complex appearances of both normal images and those showing pathology.
The learning content is available online so you can study anywhere, at any time.
Formally endorsed by the UK College of Radiographers
This interactive medical imaging course is formally endorsed for continuing professional development by the UK College of Radiographers (through the ‘CPD Now’ scheme). So, it meets the highest UK quality standards of a leading professional body.

Course Content
Clinical Imagining is an extensive programme with sessions clustered into discrete modules, which are arranged by subject area. Each learning session takes around 30 minutes to complete. Diagnostic imaging of adults and paediatrics are covered in detail.
There are over 45 modules covering everything anatomy and plain film x-rays, through cross-sectional imaging (with many modules on MRI) and multiple modules on Ultrasound.
Forensic radiography, neuroradiology, cardiac and molecular imaging and dental imaging are also covering in detail.
Pathology and quality improvement modules are included alongside a number of quizzes and questions to test your understanding.

Clinical Imaging - General Introduction: elearning Project
This session highlights the importance of principles of safe practice within clinical imaging and provides a general overview of the programme.
Clinical Imaging of the Adult Skeleton General Anatomy and Biomechanics
This session describes bone structure and its radiographic appearance, the classification of bones and joints, the function of ligaments and tendons, basic principles of skeletal biomechanics, and how these relate to clinical imaging.
Clinical Imaging of the Adult Skeleton Facial Bones: Session 1
This session looks at injuries related to the facial bones. It focuses on identifying anatomy demonstrated on both diagrams and X-rays, and it offers examples of radiographic technique. Mechanisms of injury are discussed to develop a knowledge base in clinical presentations.
Clinical Imaging – Cross-sectional Imaging: Role of CT and MRI in Neurological Emergencies
This session looks at common neurological emergencies, why and how they are imaged.
Clinical Imaging – Breast Imaging: Benign Masses
This session looks at benign lesions of the breast. It examines some of the clinical aspects and then focuses on the imaging characteristics of each lesion.
Clinical Imaging – Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Knee (Session 1)
This session looks at the anatomy of the knee, which is illustrated using diagrams, magnetic resonance images and some arthroscopic images. Mechanisms of injury are discussed along with techniques for magnetic resonance imaging of the knee.
