RADR 2240 - Sectional Anatomy for Medical Imaging


Credit Hours: 2
Contact Hours - Lecture: 2
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.
Student Learning 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.
