CSB531 Diagnostic Imaging for Podiatrists

In this unit you will integrate the theory of medical imaging with podiatry practice at a level corresponding to second, third and fourth year clinical exposure in preparation for entry to the work place. Diagnostic imaging is an integral part of contemporary podiatry practice. As a registered podiatry practitioner you are legally entitled to refer for conventional radiographs, sonography for diagnostic purposes and can refer for magnetic resonance imaging and computerised tomography under specific circumstances. This unit is positioned in the course so that it can be studied in association with Podiatric Medicine 2, these subjects are closely interconnected in the clinical setting. The knowledge and skills covered in this unit are applied in various clinical settings on a regular basis. The unit helps to prepare you for the forthcoming challenges of complex case management where imaging can be required, these will be encountered in the third and fourth year clinics.
