    The document discusses identifying and classifying pathologies on X-rays. The author was struggling to properly identify abnormalities seen on X-rays. They found that using flashcards of screenshots of pathologies from lecture notes and quizzing themselves was an effective study technique. Reviewing larger stacks of flashcards more frequently for shorter periods improved their ability to correctly classify pathologies seen on radiology links.

    Central Concern:

    Identifying and classifying pathologies on X-rays

    What is the real problem? Do I have the skills/knowledge to address the central concern?

    While studying my current diagnostic imaging subject I am finding it difficult to classify the pathologies I am
    finding. I know that what I am seeing is abnormal but I struggle to properly identify it.

    Where do I find the information and skills I need? Can I trust the new information source?

    I have all the information I need as the lectures are extensive and we have been given quizzes and links to
    sites such as radiopaedia. I just need to design a study technique that works for learning this type of
    content as it is more visually based rather than wrote learning or specific terminology.

    Do I need a team approach to this? Who do I recruit into my management team?

    Murry (2018) found that using electronic flashcards was very effective with today’s current access to
    handheld devices as students were able to study anywhere anytime. In the past, I have found flashcards
    are a really useful tool for studying but often felt I didn’t retain the information in the long term very well.
    Kornell (2009) stated that while flashcards are effective the manner in which you use them is very
    important. Explaining rather than having large study sessions and concentrating on small stacks of
    flashcards, have larger stacks of cards that are studied on a more frequent basis for less time.

    How can I be sure this new approach has addressed the central concern OR resulted in a positive change.

    To implement Kornell’s method I went through the diagnostic imaging notes from weeks 1-6 and
    screenshotted each pathology that was provided as an x-ray. I then labelled the picture with the pathology
    that related and placed them all into a file. I was able to then select pictures and flick through them
    without actually seeing their label until I double clicked the image and opened it in preview on my mac. I
    went through all the images four times a week for three weeks for 15 minutes, making a note of the ones I
    often got wrong and placing them into a separate file to go over more during my sessions.

    Apply my renewed approach to a similar situation

    After the three weeks was up I went back to the radiopaedia links provided on Moodle and attempted to
    identify the pathologies I was seeing. I noticed a dramatic improvement in my ability to properly classify
    what was in front of me, with very few x-rays stumping me. Showing that moving forward rather than
    having larger infrequent study sessions on smaller stacks or flashcards I should increase my study intervals
    and have larger stacks or cards.
