Course objectives
The course aims to introduce students to basics of radiological disciplines. The content includes radiodiagnostics, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine as well as connected nursing care and radiation protection. The course teaches basics of examination with X-radiation (classical and modern examining methods), ultrasound and magnetic resonance. The course describes basic radiologic methods beginning with classic skiagraphy and skiascopy, then computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, radiotherapy and methods of nuclear medicine. Radiation poisoning is discussed next, as well as its forms and possible protection. After finishing the course, the student will be well informed in suitability of use of radiological methods for imagining particular tissues and in possible therapeutic uses of ionization radiation.
