6.3. Radiology of the Muscoskeletal System 1655-LekM4CNRRAD-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 research in the field of the respiratory
system.
Imaging of the musculoskeletal system is presented during the
seminars. The student learns the x-ray anatomy of the musculoskeletal
system. The methodology of examining (x-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound)
of the musculoskeletal system is presented. Exercises are also devoted
to learning the indications and contraindications for imaging the
musculoskeletal system. The student learns radiological and
4
pathological correlations during diagnostics of the musculoskeletal
system. He learns to recognize birth defects, sterile necrosis,
inflammation, tumors and neoplastic lesions, degenerative disease,
musculoskeletal injuries.
The exercises are designed to acquire and consolidate knowledge in
the field of musculoskeletal traumatology and its diagnostics.
