1.3. Diagnostic Imaging of the Endocrine Organs
1600-LekM5CNEDIA-NJ
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 examinations in the field of endocrine organs.
During the seminars, imaging of endocrine organs is presented. The student learns the X-ray anatomy of endocrine organs. The methodology of examination (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound) of endocrine organs is presented. The seminars are also devoted to learning the indications and contraindications for examining endocrine organs. The student learns the radiological and pathological correlations during the diagnostics of endocrine organs. He learns to recognize birth defects, inflammations, neoplasms and neoplastic changes, injuries of endocrine organs.
