5.1. Radiology in the Emergency Department
1600-LekM5STNRAD-J
During the lectures, the student becomes acquainted with the characteristics of radiological examinations performed in the emergency department. Learns the indications and contraindications for radiological examinations in emergencies. The concept of Triage in the Emergency Department will be introduced. During the lectures, the student will learn about the rules of the emergency department. The role of the radiologist in the emergency department will be presented. During the lectures, the principles of evidence-based imaging (EBR) will also be presented. Additionally, lectures are devoted to the basic principles and techniques of radiological examinations in life-threatening conditions.
Emergency imaging methods are presented during seminars. The student learns X-ray anatomy. The methodology of the examination (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound) in life-threatening situations is presented. The seminars are also devoted to learning the indications and contraindications for examinations in the emergency department. The student learns the radiological and pathological correlations during the diagnosis of emergencies. During the seminars, clinical cases from the emergency department will also be presented.
