About Study Course
Objective
To provide students with an understanding of the use of basic knowledge of various radiological examination modalities - X-ray, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and nuclear medicine in the interpretation of radiological images through clinical case analysis, linking the visual signs found in the radiological images with the patient's complaints, clinical and laboratory picture.
Preliminary Knowledge
Basic knowledge in the interpretation of X-ray diagnostics, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and nuclear diagnostics images.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Knowledge of how, based on the basic knowledge of radiological methods (CR, US, CT, MR and nuclear medicine), to connect radiological findings with the patient's history, complaints, clinical and laboratory findings and go "step by step" towards the correct diagnosis.
Skills
1.The skills of "step by step" going towards the diagnosis, connecting the basic knowledge of radiological methods (CR, US, CT, MR, nuclear medicine) with various radiological findings as well as history and complaints of the patient, the clinical and laboratory picture.
Competences
1.Distinguish different types of morphological substrates in radiological images (CR, US, CT, MR and nuclear medicine).
