Description #
In this lecture, students will learn to identify structures of the pelvis on a normal pelvic radiograph, and understand the anatomic planes of the pelvis. We then move on to a review of the vascular system and its importance in imaging of the pelvis and skull. This lecture then covers the identification of structures in the skull on a normal skull X-ray, and the anatomic planes of the skull.
