Content
This is a foundation unit that requires students to assimilate and consolidate foundation themes from human biology specifically the genetic, anatomical and physiological disciplines related to diagnostic radiology and medical imaging theory and practice. Initial emphasis is on foundation principles of biochemistry, cellular biology and tissue histology developed with a combined study of clinically focussed anatomy, integrated with essential physiology. The unit then adopts a regional approach to introduce the specialised language and application of anatomical terminology to general surface anatomy and medical imaging practice. This approach is combined with a structural and spatial approach that emphasises the surface and internal relationships of the various organ systems.
The unit concludes with a regional focus and systematic study of the anatomical arrangement, component parts, essential physiology, and developmental maturation of the post natal appendicular skeletal components (bones and joints) with comparative analysis of normal appearances and common variants routinely encountered on radiographic images.
