DMSU 112 Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals

This course is the study of cross-sectional normal and abnormal anatomy known as pathology. The course will demonstrate and educate students on the correlation of the study of cross-sectional anatomy. In this course, students will explore in-depth study of human anatomy in sagittal, coronal, transverse, and orthogonal sections essential to current techniques in diagnostic imaging.

Course Objectives

1. Compare and contrast the anatomical relationships of key anatomical structures.
2. Identify anatomical structures in the axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique planes.
3. Differentiate between the anterior-posterior, superior-inferior, and lateral-medial relationships.
4. Distinguish between the different signal characteristics demonstrated with various pulse sequences on
   each image.
5. Compare the anatomical structure changes due to the pathology to normal anatomy.
6. Describe the impact contrast media will have on the human body.
