Cross Sectional Anatomy for CT and MRI
8 or 16 Hours Category A Credit
Debra Kendall, BS, RT(R)(CV)(QM)(CT)
About this Seminar
Radiology has been developing dramatically during the past few years. With enhancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), the role of the radiologic technologist has also been changing.
Skills in cross-sectional anatomy are important to help the technologist in MRI and CT to identify the anatomy being imaged and to communicate effectively with the radiologist and physicians.

This seminar is offered in your area to provide you with the opportunity to expand your knowledge of body cross-sectional anatomy and its appearance in CT and MRI images.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this seminar, participants will be able to:
  • Identify cross-sectional anatomy in the sagittal, coronal and axial planes on CT and MR images.
  • Describe anatomical structural relationships.
  • Recognize normal anatomy and build a personal resource system for future study.
  • Locate and identify pertinent cerebral, upper thorax, midthorax, and abdominal anatomy.
  • On CT and MR images, identify anatomical structures of the body and of the head.
  • Distinguish between arterial and venous anatomy of the entire body’s vascular system.
  • Classify the various sections of anatomical regions and their associated parts.

Who Should Attend
You should attend if you are a radiologic technologist currently working in CT and MRI or are interested in learning about these fields. Student technologists will also find this an effective way to learn about or expand their knowledge of body cross-sectional anatomy.
It would be appropriate for other health care professionals interested in improving their knowledge in this basic skill area.

This experience includes staff and pediatric radiography, inservice instruction and several years as a radiology program instructor and clinical coordinator.

Debra was instrumental in developing both the cross-sectional anatomy course and the cardiovascular registry review program that were offered at Pettit School of Radiologic Technology. Debra has been teaching cross-sectional anatomy for several years and is currently employed in radiology information systems in Dallas.
Seminar Credit
This program provides 8 hours each day of Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists. This course will also provide 6 credits per day for MDCB. A certificate of attendance will be provided for each individual upon completion of the seminar. All attendees must attend the entire seminar to receive full credit. Credit is awarded for radiologic technologists as ARRT Category A Credit approved by the ASRT, and credit from various licensure states.
