Teaching Methodologies
TP classes aim at the detailed presentation of the syllabus. Using multimedia presentations and practical demonstration, directstudent intervention.
In the PL aspect of teaching ultrasound, the execution of the technique, the approach to the patient, identification of thestructures and their characterization are privileged. In these classes students are divided into groups.
The evaluation of the course will be carried out in two ways:
• Evaluation of TP: written test
• Practical Assessment: 2 practical tests.
The practical assessment is based on the following formula: AP = (TPx0.5) / 2
Each practical test has a minimum score of 8.
The final grade of the curricular unit (NUC) is calculated using the following formula: NUC = (NT / P * 0.6) + (NP * 0.4)
Students with a score greater than or equal to 9.5 in each of the TP and PL assessments are considered approved by the CU.
The student who obtains a grade lower than 9.5 is admitted to the exam.
Learning Results
The student must acquire knowledge of:
• Methods and techniques in ultrasound;
• Phisics of ultrasound;
• Description and identification of anatomical structures in the ultrasound;
• Ultrasound protocols for the various systems.
The student must acquire skills of:
• Identification of artifacts;
• Practical application of the equipment and the different approaches to image acquisition;
• Application of the basic principles of ultrasound.
The student must learn skills of:
• Perform the ultrasound technique in the various systems;
• Describe and characterize the normal anatomical aspect of the structure and pathological changes;
• Identify echographic images as structures and their changes.
