MRS203 Imaging Anatomy (8)

This subject considers the normal surface and gross anatomical relationships of the major skeletal and soft tissue structures of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and limbs. The normal 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, MRI images and where appropriate co-registration with physiological imaging (SPECT and PET), is considered in detail.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2022.

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

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
  • Be able to describe and illustrate the normal anatomical location of the structures of the adult thorax and abdomen with reference to anatomical surface landmarks, lines and planes.
  • Be able to describe and illustrate the normal anatomical relationships of the skeletal, organ, major muscle and vascular structures, of the head, thorax and abdomen and the vascular structures of the upper and lower limbs.
  • Be able to locate and identify the normal anatomical appearance of the skeletal, organ, major muscle and vascular structures of the head, thorax and abdomen and the vascular structures of the upper and lower limbs, as demonstrated by clinical axial, sagittal and coronal images of CT, SPECT, PET and MRI scanning.

Syllabus

This 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, SPECT and PET.
