TECNICHE DI DIAGNOSTICA PER IMMAGINI III

Learning Objectives

• Conventional Radiography and ultrasound

  The course aims to deepen the discipline in order to develop adequate critical skills and appropriate operations.

• Machines and Techniques of Respiratory System

  After the scheduled lessons in the module, the student should know the principles to perform correctly main chest imaging modalities.

• vascular radiology

  to make known the imaging diagnostic techniques and their clinical applications with particular reference to cardiovascular and mediastinic structures and the role of the TSRM in this field.

• Respiratory Diseases

  The course aims to introduce the mechanisms of regulation of the respiratory system, the pathophysiology of major diseases of the respiratory system, the fundamental concepts of respiratory control and the pathophysiology of major respiratory diseases. We will analyze the most important diagnostic tests in Pneumology, the main respiratory diseases and the therapies of the main diseases of the respiratory system

Course Structure

• Conventional Radiography and ultrasound

  The course will provide theoretical and practical notions of traditional Radiology and ultrasound.

• Machines and Techniques of Respiratory System

  Frontal lessons (2 hours) as scheduled in the official calendar

• vascular radiology

  Notions of main Diagnostic Techniques for ECO, RX, TC, RM, Nuclear Medicine, Interventional Radiology;

  Application of "traditional radiology" to the cardiovascular system;

• Respiratory Diseases

  lecture with moments of interactivity

Detailed Course Content

• Conventional Radiography and ultrasound

  The course aims to deepen the knowledge of some contrasting methods of Traditional Radiology still in use in most of the Radiology departments in public and private structures in order to provide the student with the basic information necessary for the radiological investigation: principles, materials, methods, precautions and notions of radioprotection related to each individual procedure. The course will be theoretical and practical with exercises on the operation of radiological and ultrasound equipment.
