4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: |
A multi-planar sectional anatomy course with co-relative MRI and CT images. This course is designed for both post-graduate imaging professionals and radiologic technology students who want to enhance knowledge and skills. |
|
5. COURSE GOAL: |
The student will be able to identify normal anatomy, anatomic variants, and selected pathologies in orthogonal trans-axial, sagittal, and coronal planes through the study of line drawings, plasticized cadavarous sections, and related MR and CT images. This course is designed to develop, in the student, a working knowledge of anatomy and pathologies encountered in sectional imaging modalities such as MRI and CT. |
|
6. COURSE OBJECTIVE:
At the completion of this course, the student will be able to:
A. Identify normal anatomy as demonstrated on line drawings and plasticized cadavarous sections in trans-axial planes
B. Identify normal anatomy as demonstrated on selected co-relative MR and CT images in trans-axial, sagittal, and coronal planes
C. Identify anatomic variants as demonstrated on selected co-relative MR and CT images in trans-axial, sagittal, and coronal planes.
D. Identify and discuss selected pertinent pathologic conditions as demonstrated on selected co-relative MR and CT images in trans-axial, sagittal, and coronal planes.

7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
The student will be evaluated on 6 exams (60% of the grade), weekly online participation assignments (10%) and homework assignments (30%). These scores will be averaged, and the final grade will be given according to the raw score range.

9. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:
To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities. |

10. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor. |

11. ADA NOTICE:
Any student eligible for and needing academic adjustments or accommodations because of a disability should inform the instructor during the first week of class and provide the instructor with a copy of the letter of accommodation at the beginning of the semester. | |
