Students will be able to identify, differentiate and discern each one of the elements of the different structures of the human body observable in documents of imaging diagnosis.
Students will be able to analyze if there are alterations in the form, structure or relations of those elements and to identify pathology with different difficulty levels.
Students should know and understand diagnostic and therapeutic invasive radiological techniques at systemic and neuroradiology levels.
Students will be able to understand the therapeutic methods of Radiology and Physical Medicine.
The teaching of the subject takes place in the second term of the academic year:
Many of the classes include the projection of radiological images and some include video projections.
Clinical practices rotating through the sections of the services of Radiodiagnostics. Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy of the Clinical Hospital
Simulation practices on different thematic systems developed at CESIS (Integral Simulation Center of Santiago de Compostela).
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
Class attendance will be compulsory. The completion of the scheduled activities of the course and the student's attitude will be assessed as part of the continuous assessment. Continuous assessment will not represent more than 20% of the total grade except in the case of students who participate as tutors in the simulation practices that will have an additional 10%.
Continuous assessment of knowledge and class participation throughout the course will represent 15% of the final grade.
Practical classes will account for 5% of the final mark. Attendance at the practical classes is compulsory to obtain the mark corresponding to the continuous assessment, including the simulation practices as a compulsory training activity.
Class attendance is not compulsory in order to pass the course, but the student will not benefit from the corresponding marks of the continuous assessment.
FINAL EXAMINATION (theoretical-practical), questions on images and/or test questions (on images or not). It will account for 80% of the final grade.
The multiple-choice test will consist of 40 questions with 5 answers, only one of which will be correct. A score of 5 will be required to pass, taking into account that for each wrong answer, 0.33 will be deducted from the correct answers. This exam will be held at the first opportunity. In the rest of the exams, it will be carried out by means of questions on images.
The exam on images, or not, will consist of 10 questions with a maximum of 10 images, although some questions may be without images, to be commented by the student. Students' comments will be evaluated by the teacher, maintaining similar levels of demand to those described for the multiple-choice exam.
Theoretical-practical class hours.
Hospital Practices: In the morning in the service of radiodiagnositics, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy and physical medicine.
Time devoted to the study of books.
Students must attend to theoretical classes and clinical practices.
Students must devote time to study the recommended books.
The hours of theoretical-practical classes are of great importance in all subjects but even greater in this one, above all in the classes dealing with imaging diagnosis and invasive techniques where a great quantity of images are projected and explained.
