Unit Code: MIS611

Unit Name: Sectional Imaging Anatomy

Description: This course introduces the interpretation of cross-sectional anatomy using modalities such as CT, MRI, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy. Students will identify anatomical structures, normal variants, and the influence of imaging protocols on visualization. Emphasis is placed on accurate anatomical description and effective communication in healthcare. Assessments include written tests, imaging portfolios, and practical evaluations to ensure competency in cross-sectional imaging.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Interpret normal anatomical structures of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, embryology and upper and lower extremities in cross-sectional images using CT, MRI, Ultrasound, and Fluoroscopic Imaging modalities. 2. Identify the normal anatomy variants on multiplanar imaging. 3. Apply knowledge of imaging modalities to recognize how imaging protocols affect the visualization of anatomical structures. 4. Communicate effectively with healthcare professionals by accurately describing anatomical structures.
