Imaging Anatomy

Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The Imaging Anatomy curricular unit is essential for professionals in the areas of medical imaging and radiotherapy. Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy professionals identify, in the two-dimensional image obtained using an X-radiation beam, all the parts of the human skeleton, the systems contained in the rib cage and abdominal cavity. The students of this UC will be the future responsible for carrying out medical imaging exams for diagnosis or therapy, which is why it is essential to acquire careful knowledge regarding the criteria for measuring image quality, accepted and validated in Radiology. Practical classes taking place in the laboratory allow the student to establish the relationship between positioning, the image obtained and the images provided by the teacher for study and sedimentation of knowledge.

  • ObjectivosObjectives
    Intended learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and competences to be developed by the students): - To know and understand the fundamental principles of conventional radiology and medical imaging. - To know and to understand the relation between the different positions in conventional radiology and the respective radiographic projections of the bones and articulations of the human skeleton and of some systems and organs. - To know the medical image quality criteria for the different structures studied in conventional radiology. - To know the criteria of gauging and validating the images for medical diagnosis. - To acquire skills in the identification of the normal imaging anatomy of the most important organs and systems of the different anatomical regions (axial and appendicular skeleton, thorax and abdomen). - To acquire skills in the observation of changes associated with the imaging diagnosis of the main diseases. - Acquire tools for critical reading of images and writing reports.
