RADR 2240 - Sectional Anatomy for Medical Imaging

2 Credits (2 hrs. lec.) Anatomic relationships present under various sectional orientations. The course will focus on the cross-sectional anatomical structures of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvic regions, in the axial plane, as depicted by Computed Tomography. Prerequisite: Graduates of a 2-yr JRCERT accredited program in Radiography, Radiation Therapy, or Nuclear Med. ARRT or equivalent certification, and admission into the LSC - Montgomery CT Certificate Program. Instructor Consent Required.
Course Outcomes
1 - Differentiate the various planar orientations used in medical imaging.
2 - Identify sectional anatomic structures viewed on medical images.
3 - Differentiate between normal anatomy and pathology on computed tomographic images for pathologies whose image visibility is strongly affected by the selected technical parameters.
