1. Knowledge and understanding: recognizing the various body districts studied in US and their basic anatomy. 2. Applied knowledge and understanding: apply to the study of different districts the appropriate probe and preset for the specific district and to the diagnostic question, identifying and filling any deficiencies of the protocol preset on the equipment. 3. Independent judgment: being able to evaluate the criteria of correctness / quality of the US image. 4. Communication skills: - 5. Ability to learn: knowing how to self-evaluate, in different contexts (e.g. emergency and outpatients), if the execution of the US exam with the addition of additional module (e.g. Doppler) can increase the information load for the Radiologist.
Course Prerequisites
The training activity represents completion of the exploration of modern imaging modality for the student and therefore to better follow this training activity the student must: - have attended the training activities "Anatomy and applied biology", "Physics, statistics and computer science" and "Biomolecular and functional foundations"; in this way the references to general anatomy and technique learned during these training activities can be applied to the US. - having passed the "Imaging Diagnostics I" exam; in this way the student has already faced and passed the finalized study of a basic radiological diagnostic modality. - have participated in the "Professionalizing Internship I year"; in this way the student already has the fundamental elements of work organization in a radiology department.
Teaching Methods
The course is based on lectures with active participation of students in the analysis of images and their characteristics (quality, recognition of the district and basic anatomy, artifacts). The required frequency is 75% of the hours provided. The teacher is available for clarifications on the topics covered in class
Assessment Methods
The test can only be taken by those who have attended at least 75% of the lesson hours. Oral exam. The result of the test is announced at the end of the oral exam and subsequently through the esse3 computer system.
