Functional Anatomy and Medical Imaging (MEDC0008)

This optional module is aimed at students for whom a deeper understanding of anatomy will be an advantage in their career, such as those planning a career in sports science, clinical trials, biomaterials, regenerative medicine or public health.



Unlike traditional medical anatomy courses which focus on structure detail, our course is mainly interested in function. You will learn important anatomy concepts using the renowned Acland’s video atlas of Anatomy, 3D anatomy atlas Visible Body and TeachMeAnatomy online application. Real-life case scenarios selected to illustrate the relationship between anatomy, function and disease will be studied interactively in small group tutorials using a sophisticated Picture Archiving Computerized System that allows each student the opportunity to recreate the imaging facilities of a hospital-based radiology department in their own laptops.  



This course aims to:



introduce and demonstrate the use of medical and anatomical terminology
 introduce the principles of identification of anatomical structures in medical images
 help you develop an understanding of gross anatomy
 help you to demonstrate clinical application of anatomical knowledge
By the end of this course you will be able to:



describe structures using appropriate anatomical and medical terminology
 identify structures on medical images in health and disease
 identify structures on anatomical illustrations
 evaluate applications of anatomical knowledge to clinical situations

Reading Medieval and Renaissance Latin (MDVL0063)

Notes: 

This module runs across Terms 1 and 2
	This module is usually taken together with the 'Beginner's Latin for Research' module. It can also be taken together with Intermediate Latin at King's College London.
Each week these additional classes illustrate a specific genre of source and students are required to translate passages prepared in advance. This part of the module teaches students how to translate medieval sources, with an emphasis on the basic skills: using a standard classical Latin dictionary; using medieval or Renaissance Latin dictionaries; individuating the first things to look for when translating a sentence; the importance of knowing how to tune the effort to the needs (sometimes understanding the sense is enough, at other times a carefully articulated translation is essential).
