Course Description

This course builds on your existing knowledge of anatomy to be able to identify anatomical structures, understand the physiological relationships between them, and recognise underlying pathologies using image datasets obtained from a range of diagnostic imaging modalities.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for BP321 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Radiations) (aligned to the Accreditation Standards of the Medical Radiations Practice Board of Australia):

Domain 1:

a. Apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology to practice

b. Apply knowledge of the scientific explanations underpinning disease and injuries affecting the human body to enable delivery of safe, high-quality examinations/ treatment

c. Identify anatomical structures and physiological processes, injuries and diseases of the human body in medical images.


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Identify anatomical structures from images obtained through various diagnostic modalities
  2. Develop an understanding of the physiological relationship between anatomical structures.
  3. Describe the effect of abnormal pathological processes on normal anatomy.
  4. Utilise anatomical DICOM datasets to support correct identification of anatomical structures.


Overview of Learning Activities

You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, and individual and group activities involving the use of our imaging software packages Siemens SmartSimulator and Syngo.Via and Siemens SmartSimulator.. These are complemented by self-directed online learning activities. Attendance at practicals is an expected part of demonstrating professional collaboration.

You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.


Overview of Learning Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.

There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
