Radiology Procedures and Results Interpretation

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. demonstrate barium meal and follow through, barium enema, IVU, HSG, MCUG, RUG; 2. list common features of peptic ulcers affecting the duodenum, gastric ulcers and tumours; 3. interpret chest radiographs with a view to identify common lesions, consolidations, pleural fluid collections, pneumothorax, mediastinal shift; 4. discuss ultrasound features of diseases of some of the organs in the body, liver, pancreas, gall balder, appendix, colonic tumours; 5. list the indications and some basic technique of some of the systems of the body; 6. enumerate the indications and interpretations of common neurological disorders, head injury to interpret different types of skull fractures and intra cranial hematoma; 7. identify what mass effect on CT scan images is; 8. differentiate cystic lesions from solid lesions on ultrasound scan; 9. list some instruments used in interventional radiology such as the cannula, guide wires, stents, coils; and 10. appreciate the basic technique for ultrasound guided biopsies and drainage procedures.
