Content
HMI104 represents your Foundation Principles and Application of Medical Imaging unit for Semester 2 of Year 1 of the H309 (Medical Imaging) course and is a single unit worth two credit points. HMI104 presents an opportunity to explore the anatomical, physiological and pathological concepts that set the foundation for delivering safe, high-quality examinations in practice.
As a foundational subject, much of your learning will be geared at the acquisition of new anatomical knowledge, comprehension of essential physiological processes, and application of this knowledge to novel scenarios related to medical imaging and clinical case studies.
• HMI104 is a regional, clinically oriented anatomy and physiology syllabus focusing on the regions of the lower limb, upper limb, neck, back, and bony thorax in alignment with PBL cases and regions imaged in HMI105. This foundation will allow us to better identify these essential anatomical structures in medical images, in both normal and pathological scenarios.
• After the mid-semester break, we divide into two placement blocks, and these three weeks will be used to explore the fundamentals of pathology: Inflammation and Neoplasia. This builds on your foundational knowledge of the cell and tissue level of anatomy developed in HMI102 and provides a foundation for develop scientific explanations underpinning diseases visualized on medical imaging.
