Phase 1
Year 1 & 2 Pre-Clinical
Content for Year 1 & 2 will be delivered in the form of lectures within the units and supplemented with interactive small group work teaching related to the lecture content, faciliated by the unit leads and Clinical Teaching Fellows.
In semester 4, we will teach three interactive imaging anatomy sessions; you will be able to scroll through imaging studies on your own devices and review the important anatomic structures seen on imaging studies and their clinical relevance.
SEMESTER 1
Body Logistics:
Introduction to Medical Imaging – imaging modalities, radiation safety, contrast, and examples of uses of imaging, by Dr Ruth Shanley.
Dr Shanley's lecture is available here and we recommend you refer back to this prior to your semester 2, 3 and 4 lectures.
SEMESTER 2
Musculoskeletal system:
Introduction to Radiology in MSK (Dr Aanand Vibhakar/Dr Mohsin Hussein)
Recap of x-ray anatomy and key diseases (Dr Mohsin Hussein/Dr Neel Raja)
Cardiovascular system:
Introduction to CVS imaging (Dr Gerry McCann)
SEMESTER 3
Reproductive system:
Imaging of the male and female reproductive system (Dr Fahad Rathore)
Respiratory system:
Introduction to chest x-rays (Professor Arumugam Rajesh)
Introduction to chest CT (Dr Vikas Shah)
Head & Neck, & Neuroanatomy:
Imaging of the Head and Neck (Dr Thomas O’Neill)
Gastrointestinal system:
Introduction to abdominal imaging (Dr Vikas Shah)
Urinary system:
Introduction to urinary system imaging (Dr Vikas Shah)
SEMESTER 4
Guided imaging anatomy seminars:
Brain, head & neck: Dr Vincent Lam
Thorax: Dr Yiewfah Fong & Dr Kiran Majid
Abdomen & pelvis: Dr Vikas Shah
The first of these imaging anatomy sessions took place in March 2024. We have extensively annotated and labelled normal and disease cross-sectional imaging studies.
During these sessions, we guide you through the key anatomic structures as seen on cross-sectional imaging, their relationship to other structures, and how knowledge of this anatomy aids in interpreting those studies in which there is a disease process.
The document with the case links and replays of the April 2024 seminars are available for you to access now.
