Abstract

THE IMPORTANCE OF RADIOLOGICAL AND SECTIONAL ANATOMY IN EDUCATION

 

Although the history of anatomy starts at the age before christ, history of radiology science is dating to 1895 when Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen has discovered X-ray. The history of radiological anatomy is as old as the history of radiology. As in every branch of medicine, anatomy has an undeniable place in radiology.

1970 was a revolution in terms of radiology an also in radiological and sectional anatomy. Thanks to the Computed Tomography (CT) device discovered by Sir Godfred Newbold Hounsfield, cross-sectional imaging of human body has become possible and the concept of “sectional anatomy” has emerged. With the developing cross-sectional techniques in radiology, the importance of sectional anatomy increased. For this purpose questionnaires were distributed with four questions for each radiological and sectional anatomy lecture modalities to volunteers in different classes at Gazi University, Faculty of medicine. The students considered that their understanding and perception of anatomy was improved with these two modalities. They also stated that these two modalities should be given in both preclinical and clinical classes. I think that these two modalities should be given not only to undergraduate students but also to graduate students (both for radiology and anatomy specialty training and PhD education). Because anatomy has a great importance in radiology education, it would be very useful to perform anatomy rotation for those who receive specialty training in radiology.
