The Sectional Anatomy Assignment is a short PowerPoint demonstration of knowledge. You can make this presentation as simple or as interactive as you want. You may include a voice over presentation if you are so inclined, but it is not required. Students must use at least 2 – 5 current scholarly sources( no more than five years old) of information about the pathology and associated imaging.
Students must identify the scholarly sources they used to create the assignment using appropriate APA format for the reference page.
Images: You must give credit for images you obtain. You can either include the url under each image, or you can include an in-text citation and provide a reference in the reference slide (these do not count as part of your required 2-5 references). An exmple of citations in a PowerPoint can be found at http://lgdata.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/docs/914/249402/Sample_APA_PowerPoint.pdf
For help with APA formatting the reference page, students should review the 6th edition of the APA Manual and other resources such as The OWL at Purdue website. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/ This is a quick reference and not as detailed as the writing manual.
Organization, flow, and grammar count as part of the report grade. The assignment MUST address all criteria listed and in the order given below. DO NOT exceed the limit of slides listed for this assignment. You are to extrapolate information and properly summarize it. Slides must be written at a baccalaureate level.
Submission Format:
The assignment must contain and be limited to the following slides:
Slide 1: A title that includes:
The name of the pathology
The name of the student
University affiliation
Course number and section
Date
Instructor’s name
Slide 2: Identify the pathology and give a brief description of important information regarding the pathology.
Slide 3: Diagnostic procedures. Briefly explain the steps needed to produce an image in both modalities. This should include items such as patient position, contrast used and how much, region of interest, any specific protocols, etc. Do not go into a lengthy discussion. You do not need to say remove all jewelry, articles of clothing and so forth.
Slide 4: CT imaging comparison. Show a CT image of a “normal” section of your chosen anatomy and compare it to an “abnormal” CT image demonstrating the same anatomy including your chosen pathology. Using labels identify all pertinent anatomical structures in both images. Do not forget to identify the pathology. Make sure both images are CT images. *Note: Make sure these are CT images. Not all images found on the internet are accurately labeled. If you are unsure, refer to your textbook or ask your professor.
Slide 5: MRI imaging comparison. Show an MRI image of a “normal” section of your chosen anatomy and compare it to an “abnormal” MRI image demonstrating the same anatomy including your chosen pathology. Using labels identify all pertinent anatomical structures in both images. Do not forget to identify the pathology. Make sure both images are MRI images.*Note: Make sure these are MRI images. Not all images found on the internet are accurately labeled. If you are unsure, refer to your textbook or ask your professor.
Slide 6: Conclusion. Determine from your research, the best modality that would aid the radiologist/physician in terms of diagnosis and treatment and explain why.
Slide 7: References. The References list must be in APA format according to the 6th edition APA Manual
