Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical-practical lessons will be expository with student interaction in order to make the procedures known. In practicalclasses, students will be encouraged to apply the theoretical and technical-scientific knowledge acquired, using scientificterminology appropriately, in a clinical environment.
Exercises will be performed that show all stages of the procedures, patient preparation, image acquisition, indications andcontrast agents.
The evaluation will be by frequency and practical test (50% each).
Learning Results
• Conducting procedures for Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry appropriate to theequipment’s technology, complying with good practices
• Execution of procedures in different clinical contexts
• Assess and identify the most appropriate radiological procedure based on clinical information
• Apply critical thinking in order to facilitate diagnostic decisions
• Create and manipulate images efficiently and appropriately for the patient and their clinical situation
• Apply critical reasoning according to the practical result based on scientific evidence
• Comply with all tasks in a procedure, including the decision to perform additional or future procedures
