Course objectives
The subject aims at providing introductory knowledge in radiology and related disciplines. It focuses on radiodiagnostics, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine, including related nursing care and radiation protection. An overview of radio diagnostic methods is provided (traditional and leading edge examination methods), ultrasound and magnetic resonance. The subject discusses basic imaging methods, beginning with traditional skiagraphy a skiascopy, on to CT, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine procedures. Further, radiation sickness is described, including its forms and possible protection. On completion of the course, the student will be orientated in the appropriate use of radiologic methods in imaging of particular tissues and in the therapeutic opportunities of ionizing radiation.
