Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Explain the conventional planes used in imaging extracranial head and neck and brain structures.
- Relate surface anatomy and landmarks to the major structures of the extracranial head and neck and within the cranium.
- Identify and describe the major structures within the cranium in any conventional plane.
- Describe and compare the position, orientation and anatomic relationships between structures within the cranium.
- Outline and explain the functional, diagnostic and pathological significance of the relationships between structures and organs in both the cranium and the extracranial head and neck.
- Predict clinical and anatomic consequences of selected pathologies.
- Assess sample images for deviations from normal, suggest plausible mechanisms and justify your explanations.
- Integrate and apply knowledge of sectional anatomy in generating and interpreting images in the clinical setting.
- Identify and describe the major structures of the head and neck in any conventional plane.
- Explain the significance of extracranial fascia and spaces and correlate with the structures contained.
- Describe and compare the position, orientation and anatomic relationships between structures and organs within the extracranial head and neck.
