Handbook

Students build on foundation knowledge and understanding of anatomy to explore structures and tissues in cross section. The subject considers the normal cross-sectional anatomy of the major skeletal and soft tissue structures of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and limbs enabling consideration of imaging pathology. The normal image appearance of the structures and their relationships, as demonstrated in multiple sectional planes on plain and contrast x-rays, CT, MRI and, where appropriate, co-registration with physiological imaging (SPECT and PET), will be considered in detail.
