Course Introduction
Radiographic Pathology is a specialized course that explores the relationship between disease processes and their radiographic appearances. Students will study the etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical significance of various pathologies affecting major body systems, with a focus on how these conditions manifest in medical imaging. The course emphasizes recognizing common and significant abnormal findings, understanding the impact of pathology on image interpretation, and correlating clinical symptoms with radiographic evidence to aid in accurate diagnosis and patient management.
