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
    Expository and demonstration of the syllabus to be taught. Student participation and a problem-solving approach based on clinical cases will be favored, particularly in the practical component of the UC. The student may complete the curricular unit through continuous assessment or final assessment. By continuous assessment, the assessment of the Theoretical component (T, 50%) consists of two written frequencies. The Practical (P, 50%) component assessment consists of two clinical reports/cases with oral presentation. The minimum grade for each assessment moment is 8 points (theoretical and practical component). The minimum grade for each component (T and P) is 9,5 points. The final assessment is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20 values, and the curricular unit will only be considered successfully completed if the weighted value obtained in the final classification calculation is equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
