AbstractA module M is said to be wealdy-injective if and only if for every finitely generated submodule N of the injective hull E(M) of M there exists a submodule X of E(M), isomorphic to M such that N ⊂ X. In this paper we investigate weakly-injective modules over bounded hereditary noetherian prime rings. In particular we show that torsion-free modules over bounded hnp rings are always wealdy-injective, while torsion modules with finite Goldie dimension are weakly-injective only if they are injective.As an application, we show that weakly-injective modules over bounded Dedekind prime rings have a decomposition as a direct sum of an injective module B, and a module C satisfying that if a simple module S is embeddable in C then the (external) direct sum of all proper submodules of the injective hull of S is also embeddable in C. Indeed, we show that over a bounded hereditary noetherian prime ring every uniform module has periodicity one if and only if every weakly-injective module has such a decomposition.
