On completion of the unit, you will have a broad understanding of the role medical imaging plays in the care of surgical patients and the basic interpretation of common imaging investigations, as well as important imaging findings for common and lifethreatening pathologies. New and evolving imaging techniques available for surgical patients will also be touched on.
