Radiological technologists learn to recognize pathologies as they gain more experience in a clinical setting, and as the radiographer role continues to grow. With the implementation of radiographer abnormality detection schemes (RADS), or “red-dot systems” in countries such as the UK, radiological technologists have an opportunity to expand their knowledge and understanding of the images they produce.

Upon the successful completion of this course, learners will:

• Understand the concept of “red dot systems”
• Learn a systematic method for reviewing radiographs
• Understand the clinical assessment, radiography and image interpretation of each anatomical area
