MIS203 Imaging Anatomy (8)

CSU Discipline Area: Medical Radiation Science (MEDRA)

Duration: One session

Abstract:

This subject considers the normal surface and gross anatomical relationships and organisation, including normal variants of the major skeletal and soft tissue structures of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and upper and lower limbs. The normal medical imaging appearance of the structures, and their relationships, as demonstrated in the para-coronal, para-sagittal and transverse planes on plain and contrast radiographic, CT and MRI images is considered in detail.

+ Subject Availability Modes and Locations

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2013.Continuing students should consult the SAL for current offering details prior to contacting their course coordinator: MIS203

Where differences exist between the handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.

Prerequisite(s):

BMS128

Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:

be able to recognise and identify the normal appearance of the anatomical structures of each region as demonstrated by:
- plain radiography
- contrast radiography
- CT scanning
- MRI scanning
be able to locate, recognise and describe anatomical surface landmarks and relate these to normal anatomical relationships of the structures of each region.
be able to describe, using appropriate diagrams, the normal anatomical relationships of the major structures, including skeletal, organ, major muscle and vascular structures, of each region.

Syllabus:

The subject will cover the following topics:

Surface anatomy: head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, upper and lower limbs. Gross anatomical relationships: para-coronal, para-sagittal and transverse planes in the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, upper and lower limbs. Image modalities: - plain radiography - contrast radiography - CT scanning - MRI scanning
