The course theoretically covers the main methods of radiological investigation of the thoraco-abdominal district and the appendicular skeleton, used for diagnostic purposes.
The teaching of radiological anatomy is closely related to this, for understanding the result of the projections performed.
The aim of the course is to provide the fundamental basis for the training of a valid radiological technical executor who knows how to simultaneously evaluate the effectiveness of the result obtained.
