7.3. Radiology of the Urinary System
1655-LekM4CNMRAD-J
During the lectures, the student learns the technical and physical
aspects of imaging. Familiar with the construction of X-ray apparatus,
computer tomograph, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound
apparatus. He learns the physical attitudes of radiography and its
variants. He knows the contrast agents used in imaging diagnostics
and indications and contraindications for their use. During the lectures
will be presented information systems used in radiology and
principles of evidence-based imaging (EBR). Lectures are aimed at
presenting the principles of safety in imaging. Student learns how Xrays affect cells, tissues and the body. He learns the ALARA principle.
Is able to apply individual and general radiological protection
techniques. Learns radiation doses in individual diagnostic tests.
Understands the safety of magnetic resonance imaging and
ultrasound. In addition, lectures are devoted to the basic principles and
techniques of radiological tests in the field of urinary tract.
Urinary system imaging is discussed during the seminars. Student
learns the X-ray anatomy of the urinary system. Learns the
methodology of tests (x-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound) of the urinary
system. He knows the indications and contraindications for imaging.
During the seminars, radiological and pathological correlations of the
urinary system are presented. Student learns to recognize birth
defects, urolithiasis, inflammations, tumors, urinary tract injuries.
