1.3. Radiology of the Nervous System
1600-LekM4CUNRAD-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 X-rays 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 nervous system.
Seminars are used to expand knowledge of imaging of the nervous system, X-ray anatomy. The student learns the research methodology (X-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound) in the field of the nervous system.
