MEDICINA PREVENTIVAModule DIAGNOSTICA PER IMMAGINI, RADIOTERAPIA E RADIOPROTEZIONE
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: Pietro Valerio FOTIExpected Learning Outcomes
The student must demonstrate to know the physical principles and the main clinical applications of the Diagnostic Imaging methods, the radiation sources and the basic elements of radioprotection.
Course Structure
Frontal lessons as scheduled in the calendar.
Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.
Required Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of physics, chemistry and anatomy.
