Syllabus:

Multi-dimensional anatomy of the spine, head, neck and extremities. Transverse, longitudinal and coronal sections of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis and the extremities. Pathology of systems - gastrointestinal, genito-urinary and neurological diseases commonly seen on medical images.

Unit Outcomes:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able to - Imaging Anatomy - Describe the sectional anatomy of the head, neck, vertebral column and extremities. Identify on MR and CT images, the sectional anatomy of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, vertebral column and extremities. Correlate the images of significant anatomical sections with the appropriate scout image and with part of the body that was imaged. Recognize the MRI and CT scanning planes in relation to the anatomy demonstrated.Draw basic diagrams of significant sections of the head, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, vertebral column and extremities. Pathology - describe pathology and trauma which are commonly displayed on medical images of the following systems - respiratory system including disorders of ventilation and diffusion and select pathological conditions, digestive system including disorders of the liver, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract, disorders of the male and female reproductive systems and the urinary system, describe neurological disorders including injury to brain tissue, ischaemia, raised intracranial pressure, stroke, trauma, neoplasia, degenerative disorders, glial cell disorders and spinal cord pathology which are commonly demonstrated on medical images.

Unit Assessment Breakdown:

Final Exam - Imaging Anatomy and Pathology 35% and 30%. Test (Head ID) 15%. Test (Pathology) 20%. In order to pass this unit you must score an overall mark of not less than 50%. You must gain at least 40% in each component (Imaging Anatomy and Pathology). If you gain less than 40% in one (or both) component(s) and therefore fail that component, your final grade will be the lower of F 45 (Fail 45%), or the actual score gained.
