With this 100% online Postgraduate diploma, you will stay at the technological forefront of Diagnostic Imaging and optimize your procedures for preparing individuals"

The advent of Industry 4.0 has had a significant impact on the healthcare field, especially in the field of Forensic Diagnostics. Thanks to the advancement of technologies, professionals have access to more detailed and accurate images of injuries, bone fractures and even previous diseases of individuals. Computed Tomography has become the latest trend in this field, providing a detailed view of internal injuries. In this context, it is necessary for nurses to stay at the forefront of technology in this area to optimize their clinical skills and facilitate interdisciplinary communication.
 
In this way, they will be highly specialized to correctly document forensic evidence and contribute to determine the nature of the injuries.

To contribute in this matter, TECH is developing a Postgraduate diploma in Forensic Diagnostic Imaging Tools for Human Skeleton Imaging Imaging. Its objective is to provide a solid understanding of the analysis of the human body through the most innovative imaging equipment. To achieve this, the academic itinerary will delve into the correct operation of machinery such as X-Ray Tubes, Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This will enable graduates to provide quality care to individuals and ensure that they are in optimal positions for imaging. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the bone structure of the human figure, emphasizing the components of the Locomotor System and its main associated pathologies. In this way, professionals will be qualified to obtain information on demographic and anthropological characteristics of human populations and take them into account for the recognition of individuals.

For this course, TECH has created a fully online educational environment, designed to meet the needs of professionals with busy schedules. In this way, they will be able to individually manage their schedules and evaluations. Furthermore, the teaching incorporates the revolutionary Relearningmethod, based on the repetition of key concepts to consolidate knowledge in an optimal way.
