As an X-ray specialist (technologist), you need to have a good understanding of human anatomy, especially as it relates to identifying anatomical landmarks, positioning a patient correctly and comfortably, for the making of radiographic exposures. Many structures of the body are radiopaque (impenetrable by x-ray). Others can be made so. These are the structures that are of primary interest to you, and the area of primary emphasis in this subcourse. Thus, this subcourse is not a broad introductory course in anatomy. Rather, it makes several assumptions, that you, the reader, already have a general basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, and that you have a good working knowledge of medical terminology.

The human body is a complex organism made up of various interdependent systems and components. Anatomy is the study of these components and the systems that they comprise. Put another way, anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, and the spatial relationship of its parts. Radiographic anatomy is the study of body structures that can be satisfactorily recorded as images of varying densities on x-ray film. Although the primary emphasis in radiographic anatomy will be on the skeletal system, as an X-ray technologist, you should be familiar with the structure of the whole body, and the interdependent systems of which it is comprised. A detailed study of human anatomy and physiology is beyond the scope of this subcourse. Fortunately, you do not require such detailed knowledge. However, a basic knowledge of bones and their joints, their locations, and their surface landmarks, is essential for proper positioning of the patient. You should also know sufficient detail of the internal organ systems, including their components, locations, and functions, to perform the various radiographic procedures.
