Clinical Imaging

Course Description

Clinical imaging methods such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound play a key role in patient care. The ability to accurately interpret radiological images is crucial for clinicians in their day-to-day practice. However, a knowledge gap exists in the coverage of radiology in the undergraduate medical curriculum. The “Clinical Imaging”(e-IRI) course is a high-quality e-learning course created by experts from the College of Radiographers and Health Education, England e-Learning that provides structured training on all the key aspects of clinical imaging and interpretation.

The Clinical Imaging course comprehensively covers imaging modalities such as radiography, ultrasound, breast, cardiac, and sectional imaging (CT and MRI) providing you with complete diagnostic imaging techniques. The online design of this medical imaging course allows you to access and consume the content at your own pace from the comfort of your home and clinic. 

The interactive sessions throughout the course allow an active learning experience in the field of clinical imaging to help you become an expert in it. The authentic scenarios and images from real medical cases allow you to practice your interpretation skills which provide the same experience as  practical imaging training.

This Clinical Imaging course is certified by NHS, UK, and College of Radiographers and Health Education, England.

We at Medvarsity strive to equip every physician with the ability to fast-track their career and enable them to better serve the community. Join us, and let us impact healthcare through education.
