RAD390 Advanced Radiography 1

This subject considers the normal surface and gross anatomical relationships of the major skeletal and soft tissue structures of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and limbs. The normal imaging appearance of the structures, and their relationships, as demonstrated in the para-coronal, para-sagittal, and transverse planes on plain and contrast radiographic, CT, and MRI images is considered in detail.
