RTE 2760 - MRI Sectional Anatomy & Pathology I

Institution:

Gulf Coast State College

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: ARRT Certified & approval of program faculty. This is the first of two courses that provide a study of human anatomy as seen in axial, sagittal, coronal and oblique (as required) planes. Bony, muscular, vascular, organs and soft tissues of the following anatomical regions are studied: central nervous system (brain and spine), structures of the head and neck, and musculoskeletal systems. Focus will cover the common pathologies found in magnetic resonance imaging and their appearance with various imaging protocols. Case studies and images of pathologies will be used to reinforce content and application of material. The knowledge of the disease processes and their signal characteristics on different imaging sequences is studied when relevant for demonstration of anatomy in specific regions. The study of normal anatomy and normal variations and its appearance in planes enables the student to better recognize abnormal conditions and thus make associated changes in imaging requirements to adequately demonstrate the patient's anatomy and pathology. Students learn to recognize the need for additional sequences, changes in protocols, and the need for contrast studies based upon the recognition of pathological changes.
