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.
