3.4. Radiology of Respiratory Tract 1655-LekM4CUORAD-J

During the lectures, the student learns about the technical and
physical aspects of imaging. He is familiar with the construction of
an X-ray machine, computer tomograph, magnetic resonance
imaging, ultrasound machine. He learns the physical attitudes of
radiography and its varieties. Learns about contrast agents used in
diagnostic imaging as well as indications and contraindications for
their use. During the lectures, information systems used in radiology
and the principles of evidence-based imaging (EBR) will be
presented. The lectures are intended to present safety rules in
imaging. The student learns the influence of X-rays on cells, tissues
and the body. Learns the ALARA principle. Is able to apply
techniques of individual and general radiological protection. Learns
the radiation doses in individual diagnostic tests. He understands the
safety of MRI and ultrasound. Additionally, lectures are devoted to
the basic principles and techniques of radiological research in the
field of the respiratory system.
During the seminars, imaging of the respiratory system is presented.
His X-ray anatomy is repeated. Methodology of examination (X-ray,
CT, MRI, ultrasound) of the respiratory system. Indications and
contraindications for specific examinations of the respiratory system.
The student learns the conditions of a technically correct chest
radiograph. Recognizes the correct image of the chest - lung fields,
middle shadow. Learns the elements of radiodiagnostics of changes
in the chest area - shading, brightening, parenchymal densities,
round shadow. During the seminars, radiological and pathological
correlations, atelectasis, pneumothorax, parenchymal densities,
interstitial changes, and emphysema are presented. The student
recognizes birth defects, inflammations, neoplasms, lung and
mediastinal injuries. Topics such as pneumoconiosis, a single lump
in the lung, and pulmonary embolism are also discussed.
