BME 6533 – Radiologic Anatomy
1. Catalog Description (3) – Human anatomy and physiology, and the associated terminology,
from the perspective of various radiologic imaging modalities. Modalities explored include
radiography, CT, PET, MRI, and ultrasound.
2. Pre-requisites and Co-requisites –BME 6502 or ENU 6657 or permission of instructor.
3. Course Objectives- To provide a fundamental knowledge of human anatomy and physiology
as illustrated through radiological imaging techniques of relevance to the medical physicist.
Students will develop a thorough knowledge of human anatomy/physiological processes and
terminology. At the conclusion of the course the student should be able to; i) identify
normal and abnormal anatomy/physiology from current medical imaging modalities, and ii)
effectively communicate with physicians regarding the details of image interpretation.
Modalities utilized to explore human anatomy and physiology include radiography,
computed tomography, positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and
ultrasound.

“In order to graduate, graduate students must have an overall GPA and an upper-division
GPA of 3.0 or better (B or better). Note: a B- average is equivalent to a GPA of 2.67, and
therefore, it does not satisfy this graduation requirement. For more information on grades
and grading policies, please visit:

16. Make-up Exam Policy – Make up exams may be scheduled by prior arrangement or
extenuating circumstances.
17. Honesty Policy – All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a
statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic
work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in
disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a UF
student and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this course and all
others.
18. Accommodation for Students with Disabilities – Students Requesting classroom
accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. That office will
provide the student with documentation that he/she must provide to the course
instructor when requesting accommodation.
19. UF Counseling Services –Resources are available on-campus for students having
personal problems or lacking clear career and academic goals. The resources include:
·
UF Counseling & Wellness Center, 3190 Radio Rd, 392-1575, psychological
and psychiatric services.
·
Career Resource Center, Reitz Union, 392-1601, career and job search
services.
20. Software Use – All faculty, staff and student of the University are required and
