Learning outcomes

1.

Apply and Demonstrate an understanding of the basic imaging principles that underpin the viewing of anatomy across the types of diagnostic imaging.

2.

Differentiate between the common types of diagnostic imaging, and identify the different views and subtypes within these imaging types.

3.

Correctly and accurately apply their anatomical knowledge acquired in previous and current anatomy units to identify normal structures of the extremities, head and spine, abdomen, thorax, and central nervous system on diagnostic images.

4.

Demonstrate the capacity to correctly and accurately identify and distinguish between normal variants and anomalies, as seen on diagnostic imaging, using previously acquired anatomical knowledge.

5.

Demonstrate the ability to associate known clinical presentations with their specific variants and anomalies.

6.

Apply radiographic anatomy knowledge in the evaluation of various spinal and extremity alignment changes.

Additional information

Unit content:

This unit covers the normal diagnostic imaging of all human body systems, including developmental anatomy. Introduction to the basic principles that underpin the creation of the various types of imaging covered (i.e., plain radiographs, CT, MRI, DUS) is provided. Clinical applications of imaging are provided through normal variants and anomalies seen on imaging, and the radiographic evaluation of common spinal and extremity lines of measurement.
