TECNICHE DI DIAGNOSTICA PER IMMAGINI III

Learning Objectives

• Conventional Radiography and ultrasound

  The course aims to deepen the discipline in order to develop adequate critical skills and appropriate operations.

• INSTRUMENTS AND TECHNICS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

  Provide accurate knowledge of the machines and study techniques for the radiological evaluation of the respiratory system

• vascular radiology

  to make known the imaging diagnostic techniques and their clinical applications with particular reference to cardiovascular and mediastinic structures and the role of the TSRM in this field.

• Respiratory Diseases

  The course aims to introduce the mechanisms of regulation of the respiratory system, the pathophysiology of major diseases of the respiratory system, the fundamental concepts of respiratory control and the pathophysiology of major respiratory diseases. We will analyze the most important diagnostic tests in Pneumology, the main respiratory diseases and the therapies of the main diseases of the respiratory system

Course Structure

• Conventional Radiography and ultrasound

  The course will provide theoretical and practical notions of traditional Radiology and ultrasound.

  Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.

  Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.

• INSTRUMENTS AND TECHNICS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

  Lessons (generally for 2 hours) as scheduled in the calendar – available in the following link:

  On-line lessons could be also performed.

• vascular radiology

  Notions of main Diagnostic Techniques for ECO, RX, TC, RM, Nuclear Medicine, Interventional Radiology;

  Application of "traditional radiology" to the cardiovascular system;

• Respiratory Diseases

  lecture with moments of interactivity

Detailed Course Content

• Conventional Radiography and ultrasound

  The course aims to deepen the knowledge of some contrasting methods of Traditional Radiology still in use in most of the Radiology departments in public and private structures in order to provide the student with the basic information necessary for the radiological investigation: principles, materials, methods, precautions and notions of radioprotection related to each individual procedure. The course will be theoretical and practical with exercises on the operation of radiological and ultrasound equipment.

• INSTRUMENTS AND TECHNICS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
  1. Radiological anatomy of the chest
  2. Chest RX: anatomy, technique of execution, anatomia, tecnica di esecuzione, correctness criteria
  3. Additional radiograms for the radiological evaluation of the chest (projection for apexes)
  4. Chest CT, high resolution technique
  5. Pulmonary Anatomy on HRCT
  6. Protocol study for the evaluation of pulmonary embolism, for the evaluation of thoracic aortic and for the evaluation of pulmonary nodule
  7. Techniques for chest evaluation using MR (lung and mediastinum): main sequences for the imaging study
  8. MR applications for the evaluation of pulmonary and mediastinal diseases

Textbook Information

• Conventional Radiography and ultrasound

  The learning of the subject requires a specific deepening on the topics covered during the lessons. It is also essential to know the general aspects of the discipline and basic notions of anatomy.
