Virtual Anatomy - Modern Medical Imaging Techniques

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

Demonstration of thoracic, abdominal, pelvic and the intra-cranial anatomy by computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and radioactive isotope imaging techniques. The applications of these iconographic techniques in internal medicine, obstetrics, gynecology, neurology, urology, and neurosurgery will be presented. The aim of the course is to demonstrate the high importance of anatomical knowledge in modern medicine, and call attention to contemporary imaging techniques in the clinical practice.

During the interactive lessons, students will practice the use of anatomical nomenclature, deepen their knowledge in the sectional anatomy, and will also receive additional help in passing the exams of the obligatory anatomy subjects, especially the neuroanatomy final exam, by reviewing the material of the previous semesters. The course contributes to the deepening of anatomical knowledge and the acquisition of clinical insight in clinical practice by reviewing the theoretical anatomical principles from a clinical perspective. The comparison of two-dimensional sectional anatomical diagrams and sections visualized by imaging techniques, as well as the virtual fitting of sections/images taken in several different planes, will provide the opportunity to visualise the spatial relationship of structures in three dimensions and to deepen the ability to see in space.
