Reflection
On completing this course I now have a better understanding of the basic principles of MRI, when it is appropriate to refer clients for a scan and how to interperet the image. I now feel confident to appropriately and safely refer clients for MRI when required. This will enhance the management of my clients by enabling me to make treatment programs that are entirely appropriate for their condition. Treatment will therefore be more effective for the client and more efficient for the physiotherapy department.
