1.3. Radiology
1655-LekM5CERD-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
4
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
