General Information

Overview

This unit is the second of two that examine the relational anatomy of the human body and develop your pattern recognition skills in radiographic appearances of anatomical structures. The focus of this unit is on the bony and soft tissue structures of the head, neck and torso. For each bone, joint and major soft tissue structure in these regions you will study its morphology and spatial characteristic relative to adjacent structures and external landmarks, and its changes due to injury and disease. You will build a working knowledge of imaging appearances of these structures, including standard appearances, normal variants, injuries and diseases. You will describe these appearances on both projection radiographs and sectional images of anatomical structures and their positional relationships with other structures. You will articulate a reasoned decision in interpreting radiographic appearances. As this unit is preparing you for clinical experience in the following term, you are expected to maintain currency of knowledge from the prerequisite unit Radiographic Anatomy and Appearances 1. In the final assessment you will demonstrate your knowledge and skill in radiographic anatomy, appearances and image interpretation for all body regions.
