Thanks to this postgraduate diploma, supported by Relearning, you will gain skills to recognize radiological signs of diseases such as Bone Cancer”

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the integration of advanced digital technologies in industrial processes, is contributing to the radiodiagnosis of pathologies for forensic investigations. However, challenges remain regarding the accuracy of radiological images in the identification of specific lesions. In this regard, nurses play a crucial role in addressing such challenges, through the collection of medical records and preparation of individuals for imaging procedures. In this way, they work in close collaboration with other healthcare professionals to ensure optimal image acquisition. Therefore, they ensure that the snapshots are of the highest quality. 

Within this framework, TECH implements a revolutionary postgraduate diploma in Forensic Radiology in Pathologies by Compared Anatomy oriented to professionals who wish to raise their knowledge to a higher level. The academic itinerary will make an exhaustive tour of the Locomotor System, ranging from the study of bones or joints to muscles. This will enable graduates to identify injuries in radiological photographs with the goal of determining the nature of the traumatisms. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the most common bone conditions, including Rickets and Osteoporosis. The academic content will also provide nurses with the keys to the operation of modern tools, including Computerized Axial Tomography, Ultrasound or Virtopsias. 

This university program is based on the avant-garde Relearningmethodology, of which TECH is a pioneer. This learning method focuses on the repetition of the essential concepts to achieve the best results. For this, the only thing that will be required is that the graduates have an electronic device connected to the Internet to access the materials at any time, therefore eliminating the obligation to be physically present or adjust to pre-established schedules.

You will have the support of the TECH, largest online academic institution in the world with the latest educational technology at your fingertips"

This postgraduate diploma in Forensic Radiology in Pathologies by Compared Anatomy contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Forensic Radiology
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which it is conceived gather scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies 
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will delve into the elements that make up the Human Skeleton to achieve a better understanding of the bone injuries that occur in forensic cases"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the field who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities. 

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations. 

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts. 

Do you want to enhance your communication skills? With this revolutionary program, you will document radiological findings clearly and effectively"

The online methodology of this syllabus will make it easy for you to choose the ideal time and place to study without getting in the way of your professional work"

Thanks to this postgraduate diploma, nurses will gain a deep understanding of the comparative anatomy between different species and the common pathologies that affect them. Along the same lines, graduates will have a high level of knowledge of the most avant-garde radiographic techniques for the identification of disorders (among which Computed Axial Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging stand out). They will, therefore provide quality care to human bodies during radiological processes, ensuring that the images are characterized by their high resolution.

You will develop advanced competencies to identify diseases and pathological conditions through comparative analysis of radiological images" 

General Objectives

• Properly identify the different bones of the skeletal system, in their composition, form and function, enabling it to detect appropriate conditions or associated trauma and possible consequences for the proper maintenance of vital and locomotor
• functions of the individual
• Interpret radiological images of the human body, bone structures in various radiographic projections and imaging modalities, important for differential diagnosis
• Recognize the main bone diseases and lesions in radiological images, enabling students to recognize radiological signs of common bone diseases such as fractures, osteoarthritis or osteoporosis, as well as bone tumors and metabolic bone diseases
• Determine the fundamental principles of radiology and medical imaging technology for solid understanding of the physical and technical principles behind the different radiological imaging modalities, how images are generated, the distinctive features of each technique, and their specific clinical applications in the diagnosis and evaluation of the human skeleton
• Analyze the sequence of ossification, joint development and the formation of bone structures at different stages of childhood, as well as the factors that influence bone growth, such as genetics, nutrition and chronic diseases
• Recognize and diagnose congenital anomalies and disorders of bone development in children on radiographs
• Develop skills to interpret specific images of the above conditions and understand their impact on growth and musculoskeletal function
• Understand how skeletal growth and mineralization are processes that begin during fetal development and continue at different rates through childhood and adolescence until the third decade of life, when peak bone mass is reached
• Identify normal features of childhood bone anatomy, as well as signs of traumatic injuries, bone disease and pediatric orthopedic conditions, with emphasis on the importance of exposure to specific imaging techniques for children and the radiologic safety considerations for this group
• Identify with ease the pathologies or injuries in the body of individuals or corpses, allowing them to contribute in investigations either of criminal acts, identification or cases of negligence of health professionals
• Objectively demonstrate the different findings, helping in the clarification of criminal acts, turning the assessment of body damage, necropsy and skeletal study into a more scientific and reliable procedure
• Specify the different radiodiagnostic aids of pathologies linked to the legal world

Specific Objectives

Module 1. Forensic Radiology of the Non-Pathological and Non-Traumatic Human Skeleton

• Contextualize the various anatomical positions, imaging conditions and the specific approach of the most accurate radiological techniques for the analysis of pathology and trauma
• Examine the most advanced tools in osteological anatomy and osteopathology, illustrated with both multidimensional materials and radiological images
• Adapt different radiological image analysis techniques to compare bone pathologies and morphoanatomical variations
