Content
HMI204 represents your Foundation Principles and Application of Medical Imaging unit for Semester 2 of Year 2 of the H309 (Medical Imaging) course and is a single unit of two credit points. In HMI204, we take a ‘systems approach’ to understanding the nervous system, setting the anatomical foundation for delivering safe, high-quality examinations in practice.
As a foundational subject, much of your learning will be geared at the acquisition of new anatomical knowledge, comprehension of essential physiological processes and concepts, and application of this knowledge to modern imaging techniques and clinical cases.
- HMI204 has a systems anatomy focus on the nervous system. Week 1 will explore the fundamental concepts of the nervous system: Its cellular, structural, and functional organisation.
- With the advent of the single placement block for 2025, Weeks 6-8 will be used to investigate the anatomical regions of the central and peripheral nervous system: The spinal cord and spinal nerves, the brainstem and cranial nerves, as well as the cerebrum and diencephalon.
- Beyond the mid-semester break we will use this anatomical foundation to investigate the many functions of the nervous system: Cerebral vasculature, ventricles & CSF production, the somatic nervous system and sensory pathways, the peripheral nervous system and special senses.
- Common cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, and demyelinating diseases of the CNS will be investigated using case studies in these content weeks, allowing us to investigate these diseases and their appearance on medical imaging.
