In-depth study of the contents and concepts of basic resonance physics and learning: 1) the structure, use and semeiotics of the signal of resonance sequences; 2) advanced angiographic and advanced resonance imaging techniques; 3) protocols for the study of the upper, lower abdomen and the heart with and without MDC; 4) the ability to recognize the basic resonance anatomy of such body districts.
Course Prerequisites
Acquisition of contents and basic concepts of both resonance physics and equipment addressed in the teaching "MAGNETIC RESONANCE EQUIPMENT AND PRINCIPLES" by my colleague Prof. Spinillo Antonio
Teaching Methods
Face-to-face teaching. Distance learning (DAD) only upon request when needed (case-by-case assessment by the lecturer). Teaching material, notes provided online. Possibility of organising revision lessons on request to resolve doubts and perplexities.
Assessment Methods
WRITTEN EXAM WRITTEN examination in presence in the teaching room: - completion of a cross-questionnaire - multiple choice (graded 30/30) - assessment of learning and ability to focus on one correct answer -second written assignment (replacing oral and grades 30/30) with two open-ended questions and anatomy - assessment learning and ability to organize and formulate discourse Final profit is given by the sum of the two assessments obtained in the two tests.
