Compulsory ( √ )             Elective (  )

Brief contents:

This course will provide student the knowledge of medical terms that describe the pathological conditions, causes and classification of diseases, radiographic appearance of selected pathological conditions and their impact on the selection of radiographic exposure factors. Skills of adaptations of routine radiographic positioning technique to best demonstrate pathology and maximize diagnostic evidence. Discussion on which imaging method or modality will best demonstrate pathological condition. Also care of patient relative to disease process. Review of radiographs with common radiographic pathologies of skeletal system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal, hepato-biliary, urinary, reproductive, hemopoietic, endocrine and nervous system is also included in this course.

Course Objectives:

1. Describe the medical term related to pathological conditions and diseases.

2. Describe the impact of pathological condition on the selection of radiographic exposure factors.

3. Demonstrate the skills of adaptations of routine radiographic positioning technique to best demonstrate pathology and maximize diagnostic evidence.

5. Identify the radiographic appearance of common pathological conditions of various systems.

6. Practice the care of patient relative to disease process.
