About RAD 6890 OL1
Conveys the subject of human anatomy. Rather than anatomic dissection, in-vivo anatomy will be presented through medical imaging. Prerequisite: Biology 2000-level equivalent.
Notes
Online Asynchronous Course; Co-located with BME 6990 OL2; Open to degree and PACE students
Section Description
The course content is organized according to body region (Musculoskeletal, Neurological, and Thoracoabdominal). The emphases are image based and clinical. The faculty will highlight the aspects of anatomy that are clinically important and provide imaging correlates for most anatomic structures. In this course you should expect to exit with the same thorough understanding of anatomy that you would from any graduate or professional school level anatomy course (you will use the same textbooks that are used by medical students). Where this course differs is in its focus on viewing human anatomy through relevant medical imaging modalities. Medical school anatomy courses typically learn first through textbooks and illustrations (i.e. anatomy atlases) and then proceed to cadaveric dissection. Undergraduate anatomy courses learn through textbooks and illustrations and may or may not have a cadaver lab component. The uniqueness of this course is that we will cover all of the basic human anatomy that you might expect to review in the aforementioned courses, but after learning through the textbook and atlas, we will proceed to viewing anatomic structures through medical imaging with emphasis on clinical application. *Instructors expect qualified students to be at a minimum of junior or senior standing and to have successfully retained information from general biology and chemistry at the 100 level. Contact course instructors for guidance and syllabus.
Evaluation
The semester consists of three equally weighted tests for each unit and course grades are based on those results. In addition for graduate students only, a student project will be part of the course grade as well, on top of the three tests. See below for details.* *Graduate student project: Graduate students enrolled in Rad 399 will be required to submit a short powerpoint presentation of a clinical case highlighting an anatomic concept. Topic can be a particular disease or congenital anomaly/anatomic variant.
