ANATOMY OF DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
obligatory elective course
Short title: Imaging anatomy
Elective course
Second Semester
Language: English
Course Director: Dr András Csillag, Professor in Anatomy
Program of course: Two lecture hours per week, in the spring semester, with mandatory test
examination on the last class
Credit value: 2 credits
Eligibility: EM students of second year (Anatomy III finished and passed) or higher forms
Venue: Auditorium of Dept. of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology,
Time: Thursdays at 5 o’clock pm
The aim of the course is to lay the anatomical foundation for the evaluation of modern diagnostic
images of ever improving quality and definition. Furthermore, the course enables the utilization of
relevant knowledge obtained by diagnostic imaging methods for the studying of anatomy. The
course is recommended primarily for second year students as a supplement to anatomical studies
but, due to its clinical relevance, the students of higher forms can also make good use of the
course material. Tutored by anatomists, radiologists and other clinical specialists, the course
deals with a systematic and topographic overview of the following problems: Introduction into
diagnostic imaging techniques, the topography and imaging of the system of locomotion, lungs,
pleura and mediastinum, the heart (MRI, echocardiography, coronarography), peripheral arterial
system of limbs (including common variations and disorders), abdominal and pelvic organs
(including fetal ultrasonography), sectional anatomy of the brain using 3T MRI images, other
diagnostic imaging methods of the brain (CT, cerebral angiography, PET), experimental
investigation of human subjects by fMRI, topography and imaging of the vertebral column, spinal
cord, facial skeleton and cervical region, also including frequent disorders.
