Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy Technologies

Teaching Methodologies

Theoretical-practical classes will be expository with student interaction and will allow to consolidate the knowledge to beapplied in practice. In practical classes, image manipulation and visualization workstations, DICOM visualizers and imageprocessing applications will be used. The evaluation will be based on the frequency of theoretical knowledge and evaluation ofthe practice of manipulating medical images.
The continuous evaluation will be carried out by a frequency (F) taking place at the end of the semester and a practicalevaluation with manipulation of medical images (M) with a date to be defined in the 3rd week of classes, the evaluation momentswill have a minimum of 8 values. The calculation of the final grade will follow the following formula: (Fx0.7) + (Mx0.3). The finalgrade may be subject to adjustments depending on the student’s participation. The student will be able to opt for evaluation byexam fulfilling the aspects of the CU type.

Learning Results

The student must acquire knowledge about:
• Patient flow and data in a healthcare facility
• Technologies and existing clinical information systems
• Define digital Image the fundamental aspects and representation.
• Digital image definition, its representation and manipulation
New technologies for medical image processing (pre and post acquisition) and Multimodal image
The student must acquire skills for:
• Recognize data and interfaces and interactions in health information systems
• Manipulate the image comprising the functions available on work consoles efficiently.
• To understand the image processing techniques applied.
The student must acquire competences of:
• Analyse and evaluate information systems and the associated technologies according to the standards and safety
• Perform image processing operations with the increase of information, with application in clinical practice or in research.
• Perform and understand the process of fusion of images from multiple modalities.
