RDTP 212B - Cross Sectional, Topographic and Radiological Anatomy

Credits: 2

Description
This course discusses anatomy specifically from an imaging perspective. Students will learn to identify structures and pathology on CT and MRI scans as well as locating landmarks on diagnostic and simulator films. Basic anatomical relationships will be compared using topographical and cross-sectional images.

Student Learning Outcomes

Differentiate between X-ray, simulation, CT and MRI films.
Identify and explain CT equipment and basic operating principles.
Recognize topographic anatomy used to locate underlying internal structures.
Review anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and spread patterns.
Discriminate between normal anatomical structures on sectional images.
Outline cancer on sectional images.
Assess which anatomical structures are dose-limiting.
Recall dose tolerance levels for critical structures.
Describe the anatomic planes of the body.
