Standard entry criteria and 120 level 1 credits for BSc(Hons) Diagnostic Radiography programme
ARCS2145 - Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Radiographic Pattern Recognition
This module is not approved as a discovery module
This module covers the normal anatomy, physiology and pathology of the abdominal and pelvic regions. The complexity of the appearance of the anatomy included limits the usefulness of radiographic imaging and this is acknowledged through the inclusion of sectional imaging reinforcing the clinical applications for greater relevance to the students. This will enable the students to develop their image interpretation skills in more complex areas of imaging. Appropriate systematic approaches will be introduced that are relevant in reviewing the anatomy covered in this module.
The aim of this module is to build on principles gained in the Fundamentals of Anatomy and Pattern recognition and Appendicular Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Radiographic Pattern Recognition modules. This module covers the normal anatomy, physiology and pathology of the abdominal and pelvic organs. The complexity of the appearance of the anatomy included limits the usefulness in aspects of radiographic imaging and this is acknowledged through the inclusion of sectional imaging reinforcing the clinical applications for greater relevance to the students. This will enable the students to develop their image interpretation skills in more complex areas of imaging. Appropriate systematic approaches will be introduced that are relevant in reviewing the anatomy covered in this module.
At the end of this module the student should be able to:
1. Describe the normal anatomy and physiology of relevant systems in relation to body regions; abdominal and pelvic regions.
2.Identify anatomical features as presented on diagnostic images in relation to body regions; abdominal and pelvic regions.
3.Relate structural specialisation to function in the systems
4. Describe and differentiate how common pathological manifestations are represented on diagnostic images
5. Demonstrate a systematic approach to image evaluation on normal/abnormal cases for diagnostic images of the body systems of the abdomen and pelvis
- Digestive system
- Endocrine system
- Urinary system
- Lymphatic system
- Male and female reproductive systems
- Integumentary system
(for each of the above, relevant pathology will be introduced)
- Review of electronic work books for: Abdominal and pelvic regions.
- Introduction of image evaluation of the abdominal and pelvic regions

Formative assessment and feedback will be provided in the penultimate week of the module this is to allow students the opportunity to understand the format of the exam as well as identify areas for tutorials in the final pf the module which will be used to address any areas of mis-conception / misunderstanding. The formative feedback session will be a class discussion of the answers.
Workbook and practical image viewing sessions will focus around the theme of the content within that part of the semester to assess understanding and engagement.
