RADT 292 — Sectional Anatomy and CT Procedures
In this course, students will develop theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to perform standard computed tomography (CT) procedures during their clinical rotation. The course is divided into two parts: Sectional Anatomy and CT Procedures. The sectional anatomy component focuses on human anatomy as seen in multiple planes. Anatomy of the central nervous, musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems will be included. The CT procedures component focuses on venipuncture and contrast media administration, and the actual methods of producing diagnostic CT images. For each exam, common protocols required, techniques used, anatomy included, and image acquisition and reconstruction modifications will be discussed. Common pathologies diagnosable with CT imaging will be presented.
