Sectional Anatomy for Health Professionals

Who should take this course? These modules are intended to provide a foundational knowledge base of cross sectional anatomy for non imaging health professionals.  

This non-credit, online course will be offered as three separate learning modules.

A)   Head, Neck and Spine

B)   Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis

C)   Musculoskeletal (Upper and Lower Extremities)

Each module contains:

  • Objectives to guide the learner through required goals for each module.
  • PowerPoint presentations of the indicated body parts will be provided which consist of a series of medical images in multiple planes. This format allows the student to scroll through a series of images and appreciate the relational nature of the anatomy.
  • Static diagnostic images and diagrams will reinforce localization of anatomy.
  • Contrast and Compare section will demonstrate anatomy and some common pathology using different imaging modalities.
  • A self test will allow learners to measure their knowledge.

Cost: modules A, B and C ($75, $75, $100 respectively) or complete all 3 modules in the course for $200

Module A: Head, Neck and Spine

The module includes PowerPoint presentations of the indicated body part consisting of a series of images in multiple planes. This format will allow learners to scroll through a series of images and appreciate the relational nature of the anatomy. Static diagnostic images and diagrams will be available to reinforce localization of the anatomy.

Time to complete: 4 weeks
