RAIT 401 - Advanced Sectional Anatomy

3 CR

Designed for students who have completed a sectional anatomy course. Neuro and vascular anatomy, and sectional images of joint and extremity body areas presented with Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance images. This course is intended to meet the degree requirements of the Technology, Nuclear Medicine, and Diagnostic Medical Sonography concentrations as well as the requirements of the CT and Magnetic Resonance Imaging certificates of the Radiation & Imaging Sciences program.  Either RAIT 401 or IMAGE 251 can be taken for credit, not both.

Prerequisite(s): Admission into the Radiation & Imaging Sciences BAS program, RAIT 301 with a C (2.0) or better, or permission of the Program Chair.

Course Outcomes

Identify anatomy on CT (Computed Tomography) and MR (Magnetic Resonance) images in all planes as they relate to neuro and vascular anatomy, and body joints and extremities 
Employ non-standard as well as standard tomographic axes to display neurological, vascular, and joint structures
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
