The purpose of these radiology exercises is to develop your facility for correlating 3-D gross anatomic structures with the 2-D representations generated by all imaging modalities. Your clinical radiology experience will teach you the clinical uses of imaging techniques. In this course, you use the cadaver or a living body as a tool for understanding anatomical relationships.

The screen is split in halves: the left side is the "text" and on the right is the "image". The text usually begins with a thumbnail graphic or icon and followed by directions or questions that assist you in exploring the image.

Directions:

1. Click on the thumbnail graphic in the text. This activates a larger image on the right which is an interactive image from the Digital Anatomist atlas.
2. Read the text and reason out answers to any questions posed.
3. In the interactive atlas image, you can click on the various structures to verify their identities. The pointer becomes a clock icon when you click on a structure in an atlas image, but as soon as the structure is identified it becomes a pointer again for subsequent clicking.
4. Not all answers are provided but you can verify answers to most of the questions by clicking on the highlighted "Click here for answer" instruction.
5. When you are satisfied that you understand the material, move on to the next section or case and click on the next thumbnail icon.
