Module description
This module offers students the opportunity to learn about in imaging software and methods currently employed for clinical or research purposes.
Throughout the module, students will attend a series of lectures that provide the background regarding the procedural steps taken throughout an imaging-related project then use existing medical imaging over a series of workshops whereby students work independently to produce an image output of an anatomical feature or region suited to a particular audience, such as an image for publication or conference poster.
Each student will be expected to produce an e-portfolio relating to the project progress, which accounts for 60% of the final grade and finally finalise the project by preparing and delivering a short presentation.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the module you should:
1) Critique and give examples of the principles and applications of clinical and research imaging methods
2) Select a particular body region or structure according to a chosen project theme, survey its anatomy through literature and provide the argument to justify this selection
3) Consider the range of processing software systems capable of highlighting or illustrating a particular anatomical feature. Choose one to create a visual output that conveys useful information to a target audience. Provide a critical justification for this selection
4) Demonstrate oral communication skills for communicating scientific concepts, in particular, to defend the methodology employed throughout the project.
