Radiographic Pathology Practice Exam
Course Introduction
Radiographic Pathology explores the principles and practices involved in identifying and understanding disease processes as seen through medical imaging. The course focuses on the radiographic appearance of various pathologies affecting different body systems, including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems. Students gain a foundational understanding of how diseases alter normal anatomy, how these alterations are visualized using imaging modalities, and the implications for patient care. Emphasis is placed on correlating clinical symptoms with imaging findings to enhance diagnostic accuracy, and on recognizing the significance of radiographic changes in formulating appropriate treatment plans.
