Basics of Radiology (RAK_016)
About Study Course
Objective
To promote knowledge of the radiological diagnostic methods, physical basics, types of images and planes, indications and contraindications, normal radiological anatomy.
Prerequisites
Basics of physics, normal and pathological anatomy and physiology.
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course students will have acquired the knowledge that will allow to:
1) explain the basic principles of various radiological techniques (X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, radionuclide imaging).
2) correctly use the radiological terms.
3) distinguish different types of images and examination planes.
4) name indications and contraindications of radiological examinations.
5) know the normal radiological anatomy.
Upon completion of the study course students:
1) will be able to use radiological terms.
2) will be able to distinguish different types of radiological images.
3) will be able to recognise normal radiological images of various organs.
Students will be able to analyse radiological reports and to formulate indications for different radiological imaging methods.
