Abdominal and Gastrointestinal Radiology I

1.• To formulate and classify the clinic, anamnesis and treatment principles of the most common and/or serious abdominal diseases. • To recognise, formulate and sequentially arrange the normal anatomy of the abdomen, its common variants including viscera, abdominal organs, omentum, mesentery and peritoneum on CT, US, MRI and conventional radiology. • To decipher and briefly describe, analyse and differentiate normal post-procedural imaging findings in relation to surgical or interventional radiological treatment. • To name, explain and radiologically assess all situations where imaging findings should lead to urgent treatment.

1.• To recognise, characterise and evaluate findings on abdominal radiographs, primarily in cases of acute abdomen. • To demonstrate, explain and apply radiological changes of the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small and large bowels, including small bowel enteroclysis, contrast radiological examinations. • To differentiate between, interpret and explain transabdominal US data. • To interpret, demonstrate and apply abdominal CT protocols, including adaptation to specific situations (intravenous or intraluminal contrast application – arterial phase or delayed examination, CT enterography).

1.• To evaluate, substantiate and justify descriptions of abdominal radiographs. • To collect, interpret and compare the performance and descriptions of contrast examinations of the oesophagus, stomach, small and large bowels. • To substantiate, compare and justify the performance of transabdominal US. • To substantiate, compare and justify descriptions of the gastrointestinal system, visceral organs and their blood vessels, including Doppler and contrast examinations. • To plan, interpret and evaluate abdominal CT protocols and their descriptions, including adaptation to specific situations (use of intravenous or intraluminal contrast, CT enterography, CT colonoscopy).
