I.C. Diagnostic imaging techniques 3
(objectives)
The course aims to provide the student with knowledge of physiological, physiopathological, clinical, and diagnostic applications of Imaging techniques in order to optimize scientific and technical skills to employ radiological equipment adequately. Knowledge of this application is crucial for the development of specific professional skills.
The training objectives are knowledge of the techniques and methods of radiotherapy treatment, development of the treatment plan and the equipment used for therapy. To provide students with the knowledge of advanced techniques on MRI and Computed Tomography equipment. The teaching, integrated with the medical disciplines, aims to provide the student with the specific technical professional skills for the provision of typical services in the clinical field of nuclear medicine / molecular imaging, through the study and deepening of the principles and of the equipment / instrumentation used (such as gamma cameras or PETs, fractionators and radiopharmacy instrumentation), the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and its clinical applications and methodologies, used for diagnosis and therapy.
