About Study Course
Objective
Students will be presented with visual diagnostic methods, their guiding principles and opportunities for the diagnosis of various clinical - morphological pathologies, using the latest developments in this field as well as radiological protection guidelines. Lectures and seminars are intended to teach students to navigate visual diagnostic images of different organ systems, with a particular focus on musculoskeletal and trauma radiology. In seminars, students will become acquainted and participate in the performance and analysis of visual diagnostic methods. Tasks: 1. Provide students with knowledge of visual diagnostic methods (rentegnography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, musculoskeletal ultrasonography, vascular doplerography,) basic principles of its operation, indications. 2. Provide knowledge of traumatic damage, degenerative changes and tactics of the musculoskeletal system in disease diagnosis. 3. Provide basic knowledge in the practical operation of each radiological investigation.
Preliminary Knowledge
Dynamic anatomy, the fundamentals of physics.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Will gain knowledge of traumatic, degenerative changes in the knee, hip, foot joints, diagnostic options, indications and consequences. Able to discuss radiological diagnostic possibilities, operational principles.
Skills
1.Able to recognise and discuss physiological changes in the spine, congenital and acquired diseases, diagnosis, treatment and consequences.
Competences
1.Able to analytically discuss an examination in rentegnography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, musculoskeletal ultrasonography, vascular doplerography analysis, acquiring practical skills, and to discuss with specialists, non-specialists.

Students’ knowledge, skills and competences are assessed by the points system. For the completion of the study course, the student shall receive a differentiated assessment on a scale of 10 points. In order to receive a positive assessment of the study course, the overall assessment must correspond to at least 4 points in order to obtain an assessment of knowledge, skills and competences in the balls: ● There shall be a class attendance of more than 75% if attendance does not meet the requirements for the final assessment of the student by 1 point. ● a certain number of points shall be obtained (according to the number of examinations provided for in the study course) ● in order for the student to receive a final assessment in the study course, the examinations provided for in the study course must have been passed successfully and within the prescribed time period. ● If the examination results in an unsuccessful assessment or fails to attend the examination, the opportunity shall be given to take the examination again within two weeks (from the date of taking the examination), by prior agreement with the lecturer. ● If within two weeks of the study course the graduate student has not passed the requirements of the study course, this study course may be completed in the next year of studies in general order. ● final assessment: at the end of the study course, a differentiated assessment is posted based on the amount of points obtained without an additional examination. In order to obtain a positive assessment (4 points), 75% of the classes must be attended and productive participation in all seminars (30%), a multi-choice question test (70%). |
