Radiology cardiovascular system
Knowledge of anatomy and basic pathology; knowledge on II level imaging methods (CT-MRI).
Learning will be assessed with oral questions in which knowledge related to the objectives and contents of the module program will be assessed. Aspects such as exposure and language appropriateness will also be assessed.
The vote will be expressed out of thirty.
The aim of the course is for the student to acquire confidence and in-depth knowledge of cardiovascular imaging techniques.
At the end of the course, the student must be able to recognize the anatomical districts of the cardiovascular system, main cardiological, cardiac surgery and vascular surgery pathologies and identify the most suitable imaging technique, understand the images and know how to evaluate the criteria of correctness.
Basic principles (MPR, MIP, MinIP, AIP, 3D VR reconstruction algorithms).
Setting up an ECG-Gated CT / MRI protocol.
CT examinations of cardiological-cardiac surgery interest (Cardio-CT, Cardio-MRI, pre-TAVI Angio-CT, Angio-CT for study of the right atrium and pulmonary veins).
Cardio MRI (examination acquisition protocol, imaging findings, differential diagnostic of the findings).
Outline of pathology of cardiological interest.
Acute aortic syndromes (Epidemiology, pathophysiology, semeiotics).
Peripheral obliterating arterial pathology (Epidemiology, pathophysiology, semeiotics).
Cardiovascular emergencies (bleeding, AAA, AAT).
Principles of interventional radiology (EVAR, Embolization, angioplasty).
During the course, the images of the various anatomical districts in the program will be analyzed in depth, with particular reference to the main clinical questions.
The 12-hour module is divided into a 6 lessons (face-to-face and with distance learning) with projection of Power Point presentations.
The slide files will also be available on the e-learning platform.
The teacher is available to receive students by appointment, in the manner permitted with reference to both the regulations in force and the provisions of the University, to be agreed by e-mail.
