Radiographic Anatomy and Physiology I

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. relate the anatomy of the various parts of the body learnt with the appearances on radiographs for both plain and contrast studies; 2. identify and differentiate appearances in different modalities eg u/s MRI and many others; 3. recognise normal, pathological, morphological and functional changes on radiographs caused by disease entities covering major organs and systems of the body; and 4. explain the basis for additional projections during imaging.
