AN51.1-2 | Introduction to Sectional Anatomy

Learning Objectives

  • Describe and identify anatomical structures seen in cross-sections at T8, T10, and L1 (transpyloric plane) levels (AN51.1)
  • Describe and identify structures seen in a midsagittal section of the male and female pelvis (AN51.2)
  • Correlate sectional anatomy with CT and MRI findings encountered in Indian radiology practice

INSTRUCTIONS

Work through this module with your cross-sectional atlas open. Trace each structure from its surface marking to its CT/MRI level. The pelvic section requires knowledge of both male and female pelvic contents.
