IS - 310 Sectional Anatomy & Pathology


Radiology has been developing dramatically during the past few years. With enhancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the role of the RT has also been changing. Skills in cross-sectional anatomy are important to help the MRI technologist to identify the anatomy being imaged and to communicate effectively with the radiologist and physicians. This class will provide you with the opportunity to expand your knowledge of body cross-sectional anatomy and its appearance in CT and MRI images. This course provides an in-depth application of cross sectional anatomy for medical imaging. Emphasizes the characteristic manifestations, pattern recognition, and image assessment of pathologies observed in medical images. It includes a brief review of normal anatomy and structure, followed by general overview descriptions of specific pathologic processes. Students will use textbooks and Internet resources to learn the cross-sectional anatomy, basic characteristics, clinical features, and diagnostic tools including medical imaging procedures.
