, Radiological anatomy
X Ray Anatomy
Course Description
The candidates should study the basic anatomy theoretically and practically
in different anatomical positions as demonstrated in conventional
radiography and contrast studies.
Core Knowledge
By the end of this course, students should be:
1. Able to run a radio-diagnostic unit through providing basic and common using protocols and
procedures.
2. Identify the X-rays of normal anatomy shown by contrast media.
3. Having sufficient preliminary knowledge about the use of computers and computer sciences in
the field of radiology.
Core Skills
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
1. Read, write and understand all medical terminology in the field of radiological practice.
2. Identify practically all different anatomical details of different body systems in plastic models
and natural bones.
3. Acquire skills of examining all X-rays related to normal anatomy and identifying different
anatomical structures included.
4. Identify, detect and interpret on X-rays of normal anatomy shown by contrast media.
5. Understand and apply types of contrast used in imaging the driftnet body systems.
