Course content
Basic and special X-ray projections, CT imaging in basic planes (axial, coronal, sagittal), and the interrelations between different imaging modalities. The study of anatomical structures and their imaging will be systematically covered in the following areas: - Upper limb - Lower limb - Spine (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions) - Thorax (lungs, mediastinum) - Abdomen (cavities and parenchymal organs) - Skull and facial skeleton The course will focus on the recognition of basic physiological structures and common anatomical variants on X-ray and CT images. Practical work with images will include the basic description of anatomical structures in X-ray and CT scans.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Demonstration
Learning outcomes
The course develops students' knowledge and skills in the interpretation of basic radiographic and computed tomography (CT) images of the human body. The instruction focuses on the systematic acquisition of anatomical structures as visualized in radiographic projections and basic CT planes. Students will acquire knowledge of imaging principles, projectional anatomy, structural topography, and terminology relevant to clinical practice. Emphasis is placed on the recognition of both physiological structures and basic pathological changes. The aim is to prepare students for basic orientation in imaging anatomy essential for the clinical practice of a radiologic technologist.
Upon completion of the course Radiological Anatomy, the student will acquire professional competencies in the identification and description of anatomical structures on radiographic and computed tomography (CT) images. The student will be able to navigate projectional anatomy and the basic planes of computed tomography and use professional anatomical terminology. They will develop skills necessary for recognizing physiological structures and basic pathological changes in imaging methods. Additionally, the student will acquire the ability to independently and collaboratively solve professional tasks and communicate effectively in a clinical environment. They will be capable of adhering to ethical principles and standards when working with imaging documentation and applying the acquired skills in clinical practice as a radiologic technologist.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance, Dialog, Systematic Observation of Student

Active participation in classes is required, including engagement in discussions and work with imaging materials. The course is concluded with a colloquium in the form of a practical case study, where the student will receive an anonymized image (X-ray or CT) related to the topics covered during the semester.
