MTAM Events

With Glen Bergeron PhD, CAT

In these days of digital accessibility and patient engagement in their diagnosis and medical care, you are likely going to be asked to look at their x-rays they have on their phone or the MRI/CT disc that they acquired from their medical practitioner.

It will become very clear just how important your anatomy knowledge will become. Equally important, you will recognize the importance of being able to identify anatomical landmarks in numerous planes and slices.

This course will introduce you to the anatomy of diagnostic imaging including X-ray, MRI, CT Scan, and MSK ultrasound. The workshop will include the use of MRI software to scan through MRI images.
