Neuroimaging

Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    Neuroimaging plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases, brain injuries and other conditions related to the nervous system. Therefore, students who successfully complete this curricular unit will be prepared to understand the methodologies applied in neuroimaging, as well as the main pathologies involved and their assessment.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The teaching methodology employed focuses on an expository and demonstrative approach to the programmatic content to be taught. Student participation and a problem-solving approach based on clinical cases will be encouraged, particularly in the practical component of the course. Students may complete the course through continuous assessment or a final assessment. The course is divided into 2 independent modules (Radiology, 50%, and Nuclear Medicine, 50%), with a theoretical (50%) and practical (50%) component in both modules. Each component of each module has one assessment, with a minimum passing grade of 9.5 points.
