Module: Radiological anatomy
(objectives)
Knowledge of the main topics of radiological anatomy as regards both radiographic imaging and computed tomography. The student will acquire notions of physics in particular regarding radiographic imaging and computed tomography. The student will acquire notions of physics in particular about the processes that are the basis of the different radiological modalities. They will be taught how to correctly perform radiographic projections with different radiological modes and for different body regions. The student will be able to recognize the different anatomical structures in the visualization of X-ray images or computed tomography.

Module: Histology
(objectives)
The course aims to provide students with the skills necessary for the full understanding of the most important tissues of the human organism. The student must be able to acquire a correct terminology and develop skills of interpretation and application that, the graduate in radiologist technician, will have to use in the planning and management of work activities.

Module: Human physiology
(objectives)
The aim of the teaching is, starting from the knowledge of the basic concepts and the normal quantitative parameters of the bodily functions and their variations in the different conditions of dynamic engagement, to develop in the student the ability to understand the principles of the functioning of the human body. The cellular mechanisms and the integrated functions of the main organs and apparatuses aimed at the maintenance of body homeostasis will also be analyzed in the context of environmental modifications.
