Introduction to Imaging

Catalog description

The Introduction to Imaging lectures provide a foundational overview, emphasizing the history of radiology, key anatomical structures (chest and abdomen), and the clinical rationale for ordering specific radiographic studies. The Radiology section aims to familiarize students with common inpatient and outpatient radiology presentations they will encounter during their clinical rotations. The course is partially administered via Canvas, allowing students to become familiar with various electronic radiology resources. While this course concludes at the end of the spring quarter, it serves as a crucial springboard for ongoing radiological learning throughout the clinical years. Students retain access to these electronic resources during their third and fourth years. Although the online content is ungraded, students are strongly encouraged to utilize this resource, which includes supplemental materials aligned with course objectives and links to other useful radiology sites.
