Course Overview
This course provides the anatomical information required for Radiographic Procedures 1. It provides an in-depth focus of the skeletal system, with the exception of the cranium. The students will also start to study the thorax, abdomen and digestive systems and how these systems relate to radiographic imaging. Patient and model images as well as anatomical models are used to support the curriculum. Sample patient images include cross-sectional scans. The content is covered in a blended manner using online and face-to-face resources and instruction in a laboratory environment.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, the student will be able to:
- Identify anatomical landmarks of the skeleton (everything but cranium) using laboratory models.
- Explain the relationships and movements of skeletal structures and joints.
- Identify major structures and organs of skeleton, thorax, abdomen and pelvis on conventional X-ray images and CT scans in different body planes:
- Extremities, vertebrae, thoracic cage, pelvis
- Respiratory
- Cardiovascular
- Digestive
- Hepatobiliary
- Urinary
- Reproductive
- Identify the level and orientation of major structures displayed in cross-sectional images of the abdomen, pelvis and thorax in the transverse, sagittal and coronal planes.
- Identify relational anatomy of major structures of the digestive, urinary and reproductive system with emphasis on blood supply and drainage of anatomical structures.
