Training activity information

Details

Review an MRI and/or CT neuroimaging results to plan electrophysiological tests for patients

Type

Developmental training activity (DTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.

Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.

An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.

Considerations

  • Patient centred care and support
  • Anatomy and physiology of central nervous system
  • Appearance and clinical implications of pathology in neuroimaging results
  • Role of neuroimaging in diagnosis
  • Indications and contraindications of tests
  • Testing techniques
  • Diagnosis and differential diagnosis
  • Complex conditions e.g. oncology, lesions, demyelination, stroke etc
  • Patient history and previous tests
  • Pathways

Relevant learning outcomes

# Outcome
# 1 Outcome

Create imaging plans based on referral information.

# 3 Outcome

Combine information from electrophysiological and imaging findings to inform a diagnosis.

# 6 Outcome

Modify and adapt protocols dependent on patients’ needs.
