LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student should comprehend:
- the radiological findings of important diseases.
- the need for optimization of the imaging method for demonstrating the pathology in the best possible way
- the main imaging protocols for investigating specific diseases / symptoms and to assist in their implementation
- the need to possess skills to identify illnesses that require immediate treatment and to inform the radiologist promptly
The aim of the course is to present the students with medical conditions in conjunction with imaging characteristics. To familiarize the student with the algorithms for investigating major clinical symptoms and to help them understand the rationale of evidence based practice in diagnostic imaging.
The student should recognize gross pathology of the main diseases in the body that are depicted on images. To understand what is requested in each examination depending on the patient’s pathology and to adjust to the examination protocol. To be aware which information is relevant from the patient’s history (clinical and imaging) so that the examination carried out yields the greatest benefit to the patient.
