Specific entry requirements
To be qualified to a higher semester, it is required that the student has taken at least 15 credits from last semester, and all credits from previous semesters.
Objectives
Be able to describe pathological changes and their position with an adequate medical terminology. Identify fractures, luxations and degenerative changes. Identify pathological processes in the abdomen and respiratory organs. Be able to identify anatomic structures and pathological processes in the central nervous system. Be able to understand and describe how contrast agents can contribute to the diagnostics in radiological studies. Analyse and review different scientific publications relevant to diagnostic radiology and give examples of methods for data collection that are important in the diagnostic field of knowledge.
Content
In the course, pathology that may be made visible by means of radiographic methods in orthopaedics, urology, abdominal diagnostics, lungs and circulation, neurological and neurosurgical diseases, and paediatric diseases, are studied. Strong emphasis is placed on how this appears in radiographic images such as conventional X-ray images, computer tomography images, magnetic resonance images, in nuclear medical examinations and in ultrasound examinations. An important part is training the student in identifying and describing pathological changes. The course will also provide knowledge how contrast agents can contribute to the diagnosis in radiological studies.
Teaching methods
The course is based on radiology referrals with medical history, questions and illustrative materials. The students work in study groups with this material. In each section, there are also a lectures.
Examination
For a Pass grade in the course, active and approved participation in a study group work, and an approved individual examination, are required. In consultation with the examiner of the course, the student may get a complementary assignment in case of absence from a compulsory part. The student is entitled to a total of six test occasions to get passed. The course is given on three occasions. One within the course, one during the following re-examination. The third opportunity is provided before the beginning of the next semester, or in close connection to that.
