The teaching of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy aims to make the student learn:
● the basic knowledge of physics and chemistry useful to understand the theoretical principles of radiological techniques used in general radiology and especially in oro-maxillo-facial diagnostics;
● the basic knowledge of Radioprotection;
● the knowledge of the modalities of formation, transmission and especially the effects of radiation absorption;
● the recognition of anatomical structures in normal and pathological conditions;
● the main indications for the use of diagnostic imaging methods in all the pathologies of the oro-maxillofacial district and in the main imaging modalities of the cerebral, thoracic and abdominal district;
● the specific aspects of local and systemic pathologies that may affect the oral-maxillofacial district.
