Training objectives
- HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
To give a complete and integrate vision of the human apparatus functions and the principles of clinical biochemistry.
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY IN RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
Knowledge of physiological mechanisms underlying radiological techniques of functional imaging. Knowledge of contrast media and the kinetics of circulation and the resulting applications in radiology.
RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY
Basic knowledge of radiological anatomy of the abdomen and pelvis, with particular regard to the digestive system
Basic knowledge of radiological anatomy of the cervical-thoracic-lumbar spine, chest and of the appendicular skeleton
CONCEPTS OF GASTROENTEROLOGY
Provide basic knowledge on digestive diseases. The student will learn the main contents of pathophysiological mechanisms of digestive diseases
CONCEPTS OF RESPIRATORY DISEASES
Provide basic knowledge of respiratory diseases. Prerequisites
- All these knowledges are needed for entire course: Knowledge of human anatomy, first principles of microscopic anatomy, of inorganic, organic and biological chemistry, first principles of physics, first principles of anatomy and pathophysiology of the respiratory system.
Course programme
- HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
Physiology of nerve and muscle: resting potential, the action potential and its conduction, synaptic transmission, neuromuscular transmission. Mechanism of muscle contraction.
Physiology of heart and circulation: vascular system and principles of hemodynamics; the heart as a pump; the electrical activity of the heart and its control; normal circulatory function and its regulation. Capillary circulation and exchange of materials.
Endocrine glands: pituitry gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal cortex, endocrine functions of the pancreas, menstrual cycle.
Respiration: mechanical aspects of respiration, transport of oxigen and carbon dioxide by the blood. nervous and chemical control of respiration at rest.
Physiology of the kidney: body water and fluid compartments. Structure of the kidney, formation of plasma ultrafiltrate in the glomerulus, tubular function, renal control of body water and salt, renal regulation of acid-base balance, renal clearance.
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY IN RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
Functional imaging of Central Nervous System: spectroscopy, diffusion, tractography. Imaging of cardiac function: CardioRM. Contrast media in CT and MRI. Kinetics of contrast media and applications, with particular reference to urography and perfusion
RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY
General information on X-ray. Main fields of application of X-ray.
The contrast media (barium and organo-iodine):
means of ionic and nonionic contrast; osmolarity of the different types of contrast media organoiodati, general adverse events after injection of contrast media adverse reactions in the skin, cardiovascular, renal, snc, adverse events, risk factors, protocols therapeutic in the event of adverse reaction to the contrast medium.
The radiological study of male and female pelvis: calls on the anatomy of the pelvis bone segment; anatomical references of the ureters, bladder, urethra, descending cystography.
Ascending or retrograde cystography; urethrocystography ascending and descending in the male cistouretrografia; cistouretrografia descendant in the female; cistouretrografia in children: study of vesicoureteral reflux, bladder trauma and their topographic classification.
Anatomical constituents calls on the male genitalia and the role of conventional radiology, ET, CT and MRI in normal and pathological patients.
Anatomical constituents calls on the female genital organs and the role of conventional radiology, ET, CT and MRI in normal and pathological patients. The direct radiography and hysterosalpingography: method of execution.
The radiological study of the cervical-thoracic-lumbar spine, chest. Fundamentals of anatomy of the cervical-thoracic-lumbar spine, chest. Techniques of conventional radiography of the cervical-thoracic-lumbar spine, chest.
Radiological anatomy of the appendicular skeleton.
CONCEPTS OF GASTROENTEROLOGY
The prevalent diseases of digestive tract, liver and pancreas, with specific interest to the aspectes related to instrumental diagnosis.
CONCEPTS OF RESPIRATORY DISEASES
Inflammatory, degenerative, neoplastic disorders of the respiratory system. Diagnostic procedures. Didactic methods
- lectures
Learning assessment procedures
- THE FINAL GRADE WILL BE THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE MARKS OBTAINED IN EACH TEST, WITH ROUNDING UP FOR MEANS WITH DECIMAL VALUE > 0.50
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY partial test
Written exam consisting of 90 true / false questions aimed to assess the student's preparation and reasoning skills acquired. The exam covers topics of the lectures.
The test will be evaluated as well: correct answer +0.33 points; wrong answer -0.15 points; answer not given 0 points. Students will have 60 minutes to carry out the test.
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY IN RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES partial test
31 multiple choice questions (4 anwer): 1 point for each exact answer; 0 point for each wrong answer or non-response answer. Cum Laude if all questions are correct. Test time 1 hour.
RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY partial test
Oral test with 4 questions and recognizing of radiographic images; 20-40 minutes per student concerning all topics of the teachings. Global evaluation; test passed with 18 points up to 30.
CONCEPTS OF GASTROENTEROLOGY partial test
Multiple choice quiz composed of 31 questions (4 answer options each) on the topics explained and on the teaching material provided in the lesson. Every right answer is equivalent to one point. The thirty-first exact answer leads to praise. Votes or voting percentages for incorrect answers are not subtracted. Time allocated for the test: one hour and thirty.
CONCEPTS OF RESPIRATORY DISEASES partial test
