PROGRAM: Medical Imaging
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2021
This class builds on CATX 102 - Cross Sectional Anatomy I , Cross Sectional Anatomy I, and discusses 3D images in more depth. It will cover the difference between all post processing options. The class covers anatomy in the thorax, abdomen, pelvis and extremities as well as CT angiography in cross sectional plane and all structures and functions pertaining to the related anatomy. Discusses common pathologies related to the anatomy. Students will also identify symptoms related to certain pathologies, understand the effects on scan parameters, and learn the latest trends in CT, such as trauma, virtual CT, and radiation treatment planning.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Identify body planes and terminology and explain how they pertain to cross sectional anatomy.
- Compare post processing of the images.
- Discuss and analyze cross sectional anatomy of the following systems: thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and upper and lower extremities.
- Contrast types of common pathologies associated with related anatomy.
- Analyze the computed tomography image.
- Critique in depth CT angiograms of various organs.
- Apply the concepts of user-oriented customer service.
- Identify symptoms and differentiate the appearance of typical anatomy and tissues related to certain pathology and explain how pathology affects the scan parameters.
