Imaging Anatomy G (10035.4)

This unit introduces normal adult and paediatric anatomy as visualised in medical images. It covers the surface and gross anatomical relationships of the major skeletal and soft tissue structures of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and limbs. The normal imaging appearance of the structures, and their relationships, as demonstrated in the para-coronal, para-sagittal and transverse planes on planar radiographic, CT, MRI images and co-registered physiological image of SPECT and PET.

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 understanding of the anatomical relationships of the major structures of each region using planar radiography, CT and MRI; and
4. Critically recognise and articulate the anatomical variations between adult and paediatric structures.
