James Harcus qualified as a Diagnostic Radiographer from the University of Leeds in 2002 and worked at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as a radiographer across a range of specialities. In 2004 he began training in musculoskeletal image interpretation (reporting) at University of Bradford. After leaving Leeds in 2007 he took up a post in a large general practice surgery where he ran a small imaging service consisting of X-ray and ultrasound and during this time he completed his MSc in chest and abdominal image interpretation (reporting) and also his postgraduate certificate in musculoskeletal ultrasound back at the University of Leeds. After being a visiting and associate lecturer for a number of years, in 2012 he took up an academic post as a lecturer, and subsequently Senior Lecturer, at Sheffield Hallam University and became a fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2014. In 2018 he helped establish the UK's first clinical academy for reporting radiographers. In December 2018 he moved to the University of Leeds as a lecturer in Diagnostic Imaging, teaching on both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. He has a special focus on teaching skeletal anatomy which is ideal for this book.
