Introduction to Diagnostic Imaging - Test 3
Learning Objectives Bowel, GI Tract, and Abdominal Organs
NOTE: This is from Lectures 7 and 8
- Be able to identify the musculature of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall. Refresh your knowledge of the musculature about the pelvis.
- Be able to identify the intraperitoneal organs of the abdomen as they appear in plain radiographs and on axial, sagittal and coronal images
- Be able to identify the regions of the gastrointestinal tract and their appearance on contrast studies as well as in planar images.
- Be familiar with which structures of the gastrointestinal tract are retroperitoneal in location
- Be able to identify the biliary system and its appearance in contrast studies.
- Understand the portal vascular system as unique within the overall circulatory system
- Be able to identify the modalities used in imaging the abdomen.
Preparation: Review the lecture slides and your copy of the notes. Go to the Radiologic Anatomy site (Abdomen: Abdominal Wall & GI System) and do the self evaluation for ALL questions and ALL topics. If you spend an hour doing this, you should see every question at least once. When you start to get bored because you have seen everything before you can probably stop. Test questions will come directly from this material.
