CAT 232 Imaging Procedures & Sectional Anatomy for CT

Content incorporates a detailed study of gross anatomical structures, conducted systematically for location, relationship to other structures and function. Gross anatomical structures are located and identified in axial (transverse), sagittal, coronal and orthogonal (oblique) planes. The characteristic appearance of each anatomical structure as it appears on CT will be stressed. Critical thinking is emphasized.
