Programme
Module: MEDICAL PHYSICS
General Teaching Objectives
Provide the student with skills regarding the various imaging and radiotherapy procedures; the indications and methods for the diagnostic and therapeutic use of radioactive radiation and tracers; the main notions of health physics and the main radiation protection standards. In addition, the student at the end of the course must know how to execute the diagnostic reports, be able to diagnose the various diseases and be aware of the assessment of risks, costs and benefits in diagnostic procedures for imaging and radiotherapy.
Specific Teaching Objectives
Knowledge and understanding: knowledge and understanding of the various diagnostic procedures for images and radiotherapy; notions of radiological semeiotics.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: ability to prescribe the most suitable examination in the specific clinical context; interpret the radiological reports.
Communication skills: ability to communicate with colleagues and the patient using the terminology of the discipline both in the medical history and in the stage of explanation of the radiological report.
