RAD 7102 Radiological Anatomy and Special Techniques I (4CU) Course description This course will enable the student understand the embryology, anatomy, radiological and imaging techniques of the musculoskeletal system and the chest. Course Objectives At the end of the course the student shall be able to: Describe the embryology of musculoskeletal system. Describe the embryology of the chest and cardiovascular system. Describe the detailed radiological and imaging anatomy of the respiratory system using various imaging modalities including plain radiography, Conventional Tomography, Computed Tomography (CT), radionuclide studies, Ultrasound (US), fluoroscopy, bronchography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), digital radiography Describe the detailed radiological and imaging anatomy of the musculoskeletal system using various imaging modalities including plain radiography, Tomography, CT scanning, radionuclide studies, US, fluoroscopy, MRI, digital radiography. Course content 1) Embryology and development of bones of the upper limb, lower limb and pelvis including muscles, joints and vessels. 2) Embryology of the respiratory system. The thoracic cage, bones and muscles, upper airway, the lungs, lung segments 3) Anatomy of the upper limb, lower limb and pelvis. 4) Anatomy of the pulmonary vasculature, the thoracic cage, bones and muscles, upper airway, the lungs, lung segments pleura and diaphragms. 5) Special techniques relevant to above systems: contrast studies, US, CT/ MRI. 5) US technique and anatomy of the joints and surrounding soft tissues. 6) MRI technique and anatomy of the joints and surrounding soft tissues.
