Complementary Diagnostic Examinations I

Osteopathy
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The Complementary Diagnostic Tests I, are based on the fundamental notions of imaging, that is, obtaining the semiological interpretation in the areas that imaging has come to cover, namely the complementarity of diagnosis and therapy (through intervention imaging). Presentation of the various imaging exams, radiography (Rx), ultrasound and ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vascular radiology, vascular intervention angiography and extravascular intervention radiology. Interpretation of complementary diagnostic tests as a cornerstone for complementarity in the development of diagnoses, definition and monitoring of therapies, evolutionary characterization and prognosis. Complementary Diagnostic Tests are considered one of the essential sciences of health science courses.
