RADI 230 - Cross-Sectional Anatomy

2 CR
This course presents an introduction of human anatomy from the transverse, sagittal, and coronal planes, providing the student an understanding of anatomy in three dimensions. The course is designed for second-year radiography students as a means to enhance their ability to visualize the appearance and the relationships of anatomical structures in the planar sections. This ability will aid the student with patient positioning skills to accurately demonstrate structures on traditional diagnostic images, as well as a better understanding of anatomy as demonstrated through the sectional imaging modalities of CT and MRI.

Additional Information: Formal admission to the Radiography Program required.
Requisites: Take RADI 221  and RADI 224  with at least a grade of C.
Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Define basic sectional anatomy terminology.
  2. Identify the anatomy of the head and neck in the transverse (axial), sagittal, and coronal planes.
  3. Identify the anatomy of the thorax in the transverse (axial), sagittal, and coronal planes.
  4. Identify the anatomy of the abdomen in the transverse (axial), sagittal, and coronal planes.
