This course provides foundational knowledge about common diagnostic imaging techniques encountered in clinical practice by physical therapists. Plain film radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, ultrasound imaging and nuclear medicine imaging techniques will all be introduced. The course will cover the basic physics and principles for viewing and interpreting these imaging studies. This course will integrate with other basic science coursework, such as human anatomy, and future clinical science courses, such as musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and pulmonary, and neurologic physical therapy.
