Semiology in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy

Teaching Methodologies

The adopted methodology is active exposition type, using slides and scientific publications for critical analysis,promoting the discussion of cases for each modality.
The evaluation of the Course Unit will be written with evaluation and integration of clinical and imaging information for the different modalities in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy.

Learning Results

– The student must acquire knowledge:
• In-depth knowledge of semiology associated with different imaging exams and radiotherapy treatment.
• Depths that allow an integration of semiology in different clinical contexts.
– The student must acquire skills:
• Specialized in order to recognize and develop critical thinking for the integration of semiology in medical imaging and radiotherapy.
– The student must acquire skills to:
• Adapt semiology in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy to specific clinical cases.
• Putting into practice the knowledge and skills acquired during classes

Program

• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signals in general radiology.
• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signs in computed tomography.
• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signals in magnetic resonance.
• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signals in scintigraphy.
• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signals in single photon emission computed tomography.
• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signals in positron emission tomography.
• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signs in computed tomography for radiotherapy planning.
• Analysis and interpretation of imaging signals in cone beam computed tomography.
• Integration of clinical and imaging semiology in different contexts of medical imaging and radiotherapy.
• Correlation of semiology with the response to the treatment instituted and expected side effects of oncological therapies, namely in Radiotherapy.
