Study Guide – Radiology – Faculty of Medicine - IV th Year 23. Presence in the courses and practical sessions:• Up to 30% (2 courses) of absences are allowed in the courses. For more than2 absences, the student will not be admitted in the exam, losing one of thechances for sustaining it.• In the practical sessions, 100% presence is mandatory.4. Recovery of absences:• Up to 2 absences that are justified and oficially excused may be recoveredeither at the end of the module during recovery sessions organized by the deskor with another series, in another module. More than 2 absences, evenjustified and excused, mandate to retake the whole module.• Recovery sessions are taxed according to University regulations.5. Course Objectives:• General objectives:• Learning the physics basic concepts that underlie conventionalradiology and imaging equipment (nuclear physics, physics ofultrasound, MRI physics, etc.), biological effects of radiation and theprinciples of professional and population radiation protection.• Learning the basics of semiology related to each examinationtechnique (conventional and imaging), explaining the basic conceptsin obtaining images• Learning the indications and contraindications of the methods andalgorithms for examination, in order to reduce exposure to radiation;correlate the common and individual disease appearance inassessment of the whole body.• Specific objectives:• Recognition of the examination method.• Recognition of normal anatomical features and variants.• Recognition of the semiological elements and interpretation of theirsignificance.• Recognition and interpretation of disease evidence.• Develop a positive and differential diagnosis of a given disease.• Designing a radiology report.6. The objectives of practical sessions:o Knowledge on conventional radiological and imaging equipment;o Student awareness of the functional principle and how to obtain images for eachmethod separately;o Knowing the anatomical radiological elements in two- and three-dimensionalprojection;o Knowledge of semiology and the meaning of each semiological item in part;o Knowledge of pathology structured for each organ system;o How to formulate a radiology and imaging positive diagnosis associated withdifferential diagnosis;o Writing a radiology report.7. Examination in the end of the module:o The examination is held in the end of the module, in accordance with the student’sexamination regulation of the University.o Radiology and Medical Imaging desks hold a composite examination. The exam issustained before a board composed of teachers of the Departments of Radiology andMedical Imaging.o The exam has the following parts, with the corresponding weight in setting the finalscore:1. Theory - written - 50%2. practical test - 50% - consists of:a. interpretation of images - written - 30%b. clinical case - oral - 20%
