Applied Medical Imaging

Base Knowledge

Anatomy I and II and Biophysics

Teaching Methodologies

Classes will be expository with student interaction in order to make known all medical imaging exams that allow the study of the cardiothoracic and central nervous systems. In all classes, exercises are performed that focus on medical images, anatomical structures and pathologies of the cardiothoracic system  and central nervous system.

Learning Results

The student must acquire knowledge in:
• radiological anatomy and most common pathologies identified in all medical imaging modalities that
allow the study of the cardiothoracic system and the central nervous system.

Skills for:

• Identify imaging structures and signs that distinguish the normal situation from the pathology
• Apply critical reasoning about medical images in order to contribute to diagnostic decisions in the field of
clinical physiology

Competences of:
• Identify imaging exams and anatomical structures of the cardiothoracic and central nervous system.
• Apply critical reasoning before the different Imaging exams relating the normal radiological signs
and anomalous.
