- Justify the imaging modalities used to image pathology in relation to the musculoskeletal system.
- Critically evaluate the impact of current legislation and guidelines specific to diagnostic imaging practice.
- Analyse and critically evaluate image appearances of a variety of imaging modalities in order to differentiate between normal and pathological appearances of the musculoskeletal system.
