Introduction
Unit 5
8 Sagittal MRI Images of the Head
15 Transaxial MRI Images
15 Coronal MRI Images
On campus students must draw and identify the anatomy on the linedrawings on the next three slides. Students in the degree completion
course should have an understanding of basic anatomy that makes testing on
the drawings unnecessary. But if you need a refresher try the drawings. The
ability to visualize is important to the study of cross sectional anatomy.

Sagittal Images 1 & 2
These sagittal sections are from right to left. The images
presented here, one to seven, go to midline. Because all
the anatomy seen is on the right side or in the midsagittal
plane, right is not labeled and need not be labeled for
testing purposes.

is comprised of the cerebral peduncles

can be seen. Image 1 shows a semi lunar appearance to
the anterior wall of the pharynx, which is the encroachment
of the soft palate, nearing the uvula.

* Comprised of the vomer bone and the perpendicular plate of the
ethmoid bone, both of which would be seen on this section (6)
** Seen as a streak or line on the left side, unlike the spot we
have seen to this level. This is due to the left vertebral
heading for midline to anastomose with the Rt vertebral to
form the basilar artery. The right is doing the same, but appears
differently due to asymmetry or rotation of the part.
***Enters the external carotid opening (8) turns medially and
anteriorly as it runs through the canal, then turns superiorly at
foramen lacerum.

* On image 5 we saw the nasopharynx in approximately this

of the sphenoid bone that makes up the floor of the sphenoid sinus.
Notice the septum in the sphenoid, which is common.
** Just emerged from the canal, above foramen lacerum.
***In front of the pons and between the cerebellopontine angle cisterns
is the prepontine cistern.
***It is difficult to see exactly which image the basilar first appears on,
but the anastomosis occurs near the most superior part of the
medulla oblongata.
