Radiological Anatomy

Human anatomy

Radiation Physics

The theoretical-practical classes will allow students to understand all radiological signs and structures evidenced in radiographs, angiography and other intervention procedures. Pathological aspects vs. normal radiological anatomy and image analysis that reinforce a diagnostic evaluation will be focused.

In practical classes, a file of medical images will be used and exercises will be carried out that enhance the consolidation of knowledge. All image manipulation techniques available in the General Radiology work consoles will also be carried out, as well as the analysis and discussion and practical manipulation of different types of radiographs and intervention exams that will allow the student to achieve the proposed objectives.

At the end of the UC, the student must acquire knowledge of:

Radiological anatomy in general radiology and angiography procedures
Normal and pathological radiological signs according to the procedure and clinical context
The student must acquire skills to:

Evaluate and identify the radiological procedure and its diagnostic acceptability according to the patient’s clinical context
Manipulate general radiology and angiography images efficiently
Identify changes between routine and context and trauma images
Evaluate radiological signs in general radiology procedure and intervention
The student must acquire skills to:

Identify and assess anatomical structures and radiological signs present in general and interventional radiology procedures
Evaluate the images produced, making decisions about their quality and acceptability according to the context and clinical conditions of the patient. Including the decision about the absence or presence of possible pathology or trauma.

• Identification of anatomical views and structures on radiographs of the limbs, chest, abdomen, spine and skull.
• Analysis of radiological procedures in general radiology performed with contrast.
• Identification of structures and acquisitions in intervention procedures (including angiography and operating room)
• Verification of quality criteria.
• Identification of radiological signs.
• Evaluation and identification of image quality criteria.
• Image manipulation with a view to its improvement for greater diagnostic accuracy
