Regional & Imaging Anatomy-II - (RIAL-612) (MIT): Course Content

Regional anatomy studies the body by regions (like the head, chest, or abdomen), focusing on the relationships between structures within those regions, while imaging anatomy uses non-invasive methods like X-rays and MRI to visualize internal structures. B
