Objectives

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 interpret 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.
The systematic part of the Course is integrated with clinical sciences courses.

Specific Teaching Objectives
Knowledge and understanding: knowledge and understanding of the various diagnostic procedures for images and radiotherapy; notions of radiological semeiotics; principles of diagnostic and prescriptive appropriateness.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: ability to prescribe the most suitable examination in the specific clinical context; interpret the radiological reports. Autonomy of judgment: ability to critically judge diagnostic findings and to decide the most appropriate diagnostic methods in different clinical contexts. 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.
Learning skills: ability to understand the various aspects related to the field of diagnostic imaging through the use of technical and specialized texts. Achieving awareness by the student in recognizing the need for autonomous learning throughout life and to commit to achieving this goal.
