I. Course Description
Presentation and demonstration of anatomical positioning and adaptation for diagnostic imaging of body systems.
II. Course Objectives:
Student will:
1. identify normal anatomical structures of the skull, facial bones, temporal bones, sinuses, temporomandibular joints, mandible and urinary system on diagrams and radiographs;
2. describe the routine and optional projections for radiographic demonstration of the skull , facial bones, temporal bones, sinuses mandible and temporomandibular joints;
3. describe the routine and optional projections of the various radiographic investigations that are done to evaluate the urinary system;

4. describe the contrast media utilized for the various radiological investigations that are currently used in evaluating the urinary system;
5. describe the principles of paediatric, mobile, theatre, intensive care unit (ICU) and geriatric radiography;
6. describe the principles of patient management and imaging requirements during emergency radiography;
7. demonstrate mastery of the routine/optimal projections of the skull, facial bones, sinuses, mandible and temporomandibular joints by positioning each other and taking radiographs using a skull phantom;
8. critique radiographs of the skull, facial bones, sinuses, mandible, temporomandibular joints and of the urinary system;
9. explain the clinical application of conventional tomography/zonography of the urinary system
