Regional & Imaging Anatomy-I - (RIAL-601) (MIT): Course Content

Regional anatomy studies the body's structures within specific regions (like the head, abdomen, or limbs), emphasizing their relationships, while imaging anatomy uses techniques like X-rays or MRI to visualize internal structures for diagnosis and treatme
