RADT 282 Sectional Anatomy and MRI Procedures
In this course, students will develop theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to perform routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures during their clinical rotation. The course is divided into two parts: Sectional Anatomy and MRI Procedures. The sectional anatomy component focuses on human anatomy as seen in multiple planes. Anatomy of the central nervous, musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems, will be included. The MRI procedures component focuses on venipuncture and contrast media administration, and the actual methods of producing diagnostic MR images. For each exam, common protocols required, techniques used, anatomy included, and image acquisition and reconstruction modifications needed will be discussed. Common pathologies diagnosable with MRI imaging will be presented.
