Computed Tomography Imaging

Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    CT plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, becoming an indispensable tool. The curriculum unit of Computed Tomography Imaging is an essential component of courses related to the healthcare and diagnostic imaging field. In this discipline, students explore the principles and applications of computed tomography (CT). Students attending this curriculum unit will learn about the fundamentals of CT, including the physics behind the technique, different types of scanners, and image acquisition protocols. Additionally, they will be introduced to various types of pathologies that can be diagnosed through CT, ranging from musculoskeletal injuries to abdominal and thoracic diseases.
  • ProgramaProgramme

  • ObjectivosObjectives
    To develop an understanding and detailed knowledge on the technical procedures for Computed Tomography (CT) image acquisition in Neuroradiology, Radiology and osteoarticular examinations To be exposed to the general principles in Sectional Anatomy and Pathology and get familiar with the respective terminology and anatomical visualization/identification, thus developing observation and descriptive skills To acquire a knowledge base solid enough to be used during image acquisition and interpretation, in future professional settings in the clinical environment To identify, interpret and describe healthy and pathological anatomical structures of the human body, based on CT image visualization To correlate the examination acquisition technique to the anatomical structures and respective functions To integrate the specificity of each anatomical system with the radiological technique employed in the examinations

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    Expository, demonstrative and active methods. Problem solving. This curricular unit can be completed via continuous assessment or a single final evaluation. The final classification (CF) for the continuous evaluation mode is obtained from the marks obtained in both the written theory (T) and the practice (PL) components. The written component consists of two written tests on the theoretical contents. The minimum grade for each frequency is 9.5 values. The pratical component consists of two assessment moments, to be held during the classes and whose grade must be equal to or greater than 9.5 values. The final grade is calculated from the following formula: CF = 0.40 T + 0.60 PL. The classification of all assessment elements is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, and the weighted value of the obtained marks must be equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
