508099 - TRAINEESHIP IN RADIOLOGY

Teaching is delivered through face-to-face lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and discussion of representative radiological cases. Lectures provide the theoretical foundations of the physical principles, tissue representation, clinical applications and safety considerations of the principal imaging modalities, enabling students to develop the knowledge and understanding required to describe the principles and appropriate use of diagnostic imaging (LO1). Case discussions reinforce the application of this knowledge by helping students recognise different imaging modalities, identify basic anatomical and pathological features and select the most appropriate imaging technique for common clinical scenarios (LO2). Students are also encouraged to evaluate the indications, contraindications and limitations of imaging modalities and contrast media, while considering the principles of radiobiology and radiation protection (LO3). Together, these teaching methods promote the interpretation of basic imaging findings within their clinical context and support the development of diagnostic reasoning required for subsequent clinical training (LO4).
