In the medical world, image interpretation plays a central role in a whole host of clinical situations \u2013 from A&E through to antenatal care and paediatrics. This can involve a range of techniques from the latest MRI scans through to ultrasound and X-rays. Whatever the scenario, it\u2019s essential that referrers and radiographers have the right skills to interpret the results promptly and precisely \u2013 ensuring the best patient care and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Image Interpretation elearning programme, which has been developed by the UK Society and College of Radiographers and elearning for Healthcare, helps learners to gain the skills and understanding to perform this role effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched in 2009, the programme was originally aimed at radiographers but it is also invaluable for doctors, nurses, and medical\/radiography students, who need to review images in their day-to-day work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accessible online, the learning modules cover all aspects of radiological imaging, from plain radiography through to cross-sectional imaging and ultrasound as well as topics such as caring for people with special needs and dealing with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLearners can select modules that are relevant to their training or work and study online at their own pace,\u201d explains Dorothy Keane, Clinical Lead for the Image Interpretation programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The learning content is written by specialist radiographers and academics from a variety of fields. Editorial oversight is provided by Dorothy to ensure consistency in terms of tone, style and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
