Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Critically analyse and apply an integrated comprehensive understanding of the normal adult and paediatric anatomical structures as visualised in planar radiography, CT and MRI images;
2. Contextualise and apply anatomical surface landmarks as they relate to the anatomical relationships of each region;
3. Correlate and synthesise an understanding of the anatomical relationships of the major structures, including skeletal, organ, muscle and vascular structures, of each region with respect to planar radiography, CT and MRI; and
4. Critically evaluate and correlate anatomical variants on co-registered physiological images of SPECT and PET.
Graduate attributes
1. UC graduates are professional - communicate effectively1. UC graduates are professional - employ up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
2. UC graduates are global citizens - make creative use of technology in their learning and professional lives
Skills development
Students are required to have a thorough understanding of equivelant units Introduction for Regional Anatomy and Physiology & Systemic Anatomy and Physiology. The knowledge of the correct terminiology in diagostic medical imaging, basic physical principles relating to the to various imaging modalities and the application of the imaging modalities to different patient presentations, is an advantage.
Depending on the situation with Covid, if necessary the lectures will be pre recorded and posted on the Cavas subject site. Similar for the tutorials, these will be conducted online. A link will be provided if this is required.
This unit contributes toward the folowing Medical Radiation Board of Australia Professional capabilities for medical radiation practice and National Board approved medical radiation practice accrediation standards
