Oncological Radiology III (RRD_052)
About Study Course
Objective
To ensure the acquisition of oncological radiology for successful further implementation of studies in accordance with the requirements of the regulations of the radiology specialty in order to prepare the doctor for certification in the specialty of radiologist, in accordance with the regulatory documents of the Republic of Latvia.
