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.
