Unit of study_
MRTY5091: Multiplanar Anatomy B
2027 unit information
This unit presents detailed cross-sectional anatomy of the brain with a focus on the brainstem, cranial nerves and nuclei, cerebellum, diencephalon, cerebral hemispheres and cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, ventricular system and cerebral blood supply. The practical component focuses on the interpretation of soft-copy MR images, including the value of different imaging planes for demonstrating specific anatomical structures and pathologies. The unit is primarily designed for professionals working with MRI but nuclear medicine and radiation therapy professionals who use CT as an anatomical imaging tool may also benefit. A sound knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy is assumed. The unit is delivered in distance education mode using a range of online learning media.

A good knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy is essential for this unit |
At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Identify anatomical structures and structural features in axial, coronal and sagittal planes of the brain region, in order to correctly label structures in MR and CT images.
- LO2. Examine function and location of structures in the brain region, in order to explain their relationship to other structures in axial, coronal and sagittal planes.
- LO3. Apply knowledge of neuroanatomy to written and verbal discussions, in order to engage and communicate effectively with peers from medical radiation science community
- LO4. Apply knowledge of the location and function of neuroanatomical structures and disease processes, in order to examine anatomical changes and clinical presentations related to pathology in the brain region
- LO5. Synthesise published literature of normal anatomy and pathology related to neuroanatomy, to inform discussion and to create an educational resource in a format suitable for a medical radiation science audience.
