Choose an Anatomical System, 1 of the 11
Choose a topic within your chosen system, something fascinating / personal to you
Include a set of images from a variety of diagnostic imaging techniques
– System, Organ, Tissue and Cell levels are important to delineate
Include normal vs pathological
….or Include normal vs pathological vs pre & post treatment
….or include a development series, normal vs degenerative / progressive
….or include normal vs traumatized
…or normal vs diseased vs treated vs untreated
…or undeveloped through developed
Include Incidence and prevalence
Limit your series to approximately 12 slides
Follow the examples in the template, Image, description and reference on each slide
Introduction and Summary 1 slide each
References 1 slide
Layout and design are your choice
This assignment is intended for a small team / group students. 1 – 4, not 5 or more!
You will formally present your findings in class.
Each presenter will be responsible for a significant part of your presentation
Limit your presentation to 12 minutes…..practice….practice…practice

Hu Skull Sagittal Section
MRI
•
This image is a midsagittal MRI section through the skull. MRI is
widely used today and has become a valuable as a clinical imaging
too. It permits sections to be taken through structures at any angle
and, in contrast to CT, soft tissue details are also visible.
•
On this section note the midline structures of the brain.
•
The large 'C' shaped structure is the corpus callosum (1). This large
comma shaped structure contains nerve fibres which link together
matching areas from the left and right cerebral cortex of the brain.
Thus this structure is the largest commissure.
•
Below the corpus, identify the lateral ventricle (2). This forms part of
the chamber system of the brain through which cerebrospinal fluid
circulates (CSF). CSF is normally a clear substance which circulates
through four large cavities within the cerebral hemispheres and brain
stem called ventricles. The lateral ventricles are within each cerebral
hemisphere and are linked to the third ventricle, which lies in the midline, by the interventricular foramen. It may become blood stained, for
example following head injury.
•
The gyral patterns of the cerebral cortex should also be observed.
Immediately superior to the corpus callosum is the cingulate gyrus
(3).
•
Below the cortex and posterior to the brain stem is the cerebellum
(4). This structure has a characteristic appearance on MRI. The pons
(5) is the part of the brainstem which links the part of the forebrain
called the diencephalon to the hindbrain. The medulla forms part of
the hind brain (6) and is in turn connected to the cervical part of the
spinal cord (7).

Human Skull Autistic
CT Scan
•
This is the top of Peter's skull from the CT Scan. As
you can see there is no suture down the middle of his
skull. The suture you see running from left to right is
the coronal suture that runs from right in front of one
ear to the other. The sagittal should run from the
middle of that suture to the back of the skull but it's
not present. If it were, it would have the same zigzagged appearance as the coronal suture.
•
This is a side/rear view of Peter's skull. As you can
see, about where the ear is there should be a suture
but, again, there isn't one.
