RAIT 301 - Sectional Anatomy

5 CR

Presents normal human anatomy in various planes using Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), interventional, and cardiac catheter images. This course is intended to meet the degree requirements of the Technology and Nuclear Medicine concentrations as well as the requirements of the CT Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Positron Emission Tomography, and Vascular Interventional certificates of the Radiation & Imaging Sciences program. 

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 241 and BIOL 242, with a C (2.0) or better and admission to the admission to the Radiation & Imaging Sciences BAS program, or permission of the Program Chair.

Course Outcomes

List differences between computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images, and identify medical images as one or the otherIdentify normal anatomy of structures listed in the content using images from various special imaging modalities.
Locate organs, muscles, blood vessels, and ducts in the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis in 3 dimensions
Employ standard tomographic axes and identify the plane of tomographic images
Correctly utilize directional terms (e.g., anterior/posterior, superior/inferior, medial/lateral) to describe the anatomic relationships between various structures
Create drawings and presentations showing anatomic structures and their relationships
Differentiate between normal and abnormal anatomy taking into account anatomic variances, and discussing supporting evidence
