Course content
Expansion and integration of knowledge acquired in the course Radiological Anatomy 1. The course covers the principles of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonographic (USG) imaging. CT and MRI imaging in various planes (axial, coronal, sagittal) and the basics of ultrasonographic imaging of selected anatomical structures. The study of anatomical structures and their imaging will be systematically covered in the following areas: - Brain and neck - Thorax (lungs, mediastinum, heart) - Abdomen (liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, vascular structures) - Pelvis (pelvic organs, lymph nodes) - Central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) - Musculoskeletal system (joints, soft tissues) The course will focus on the recognition of physiological structures and basic pathological changes in CT, MRI, and USG imaging. Practical work with images will include the description of anatomical structures and basic clinical interpretation in case studies.

Learning outcomes
The course builds on Radiological Anatomy 1 and expands students' knowledge and skills in the interpretation of anatomical structures in images obtained by advanced imaging modalities, specifically computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and basic ultrasonographic (USG) imaging. Emphasis is placed on the systematic acquisition of anatomy in various imaging planes, comparison of the appearance of structures across different modalities, and recognition of physiological and pathological findings. Students will learn to apply professional anatomical terminology in a clinical context and develop the skills necessary for the practical interpretation of imaging documentation essential for the practice of a radiologic technologist.
Upon completion of the course Radiological Anatomy 2, the student will acquire professional competencies in the identification and description of anatomical structures in images obtained by computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonographic imaging. The student will be able to navigate the topography of anatomical structures in various imaging planes and compare their appearance across different modalities. They will develop skills necessary for recognizing physiological and basic pathological changes in advanced imaging methods and will master professional anatomical terminology appropriate for clinical practice. At the same time, the student will enhance their ability to solve professional tasks independently and as part of a team. They will be capable of adhering to ethical principles and standards when working with imaging documentation and applying the acquired skills in the clinical practice of a radiologic technologist.
Prerequisites
unspecified
OPD/RGA10 and OPD/RGB10 and RAM/RGA02 and RAM/RGB02 and RAM/RGA03 and RAM/RGB03 and RAM/RGA41

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 two anonymized images (X-ray + CT or MRI or USG) related to the topics covered during the semester.
