DMSU 112 Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals
This course will require students to study sectional anatomy of the body in the transverse, longitudinal, and coronal planes. Emphasis will be placed on the vessels and organs imaged sonographically. There will also be correlation of the anatomy to sonographic images, CAT, MRI, and X-Ray images.
Hours Weekly
2.15 hours lecture, 3 hours lab weekly
Course Objectives
- Demonstrate relevant understanding of anatomical spatial relationships.
- Identify planes of the body and how they pertain to cross-sectional anatomy.
- Demonstrate knowledge of terminology related to cross-sectional anatomy.
- Compare sonograms to other radiology images.
- Demonstrate knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy of the following body regions: abdomen, pelvis, peripheral and abdominal vascular, and musculoskeletal (MSK).
