DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING AND RADIOTHERAPY
Enrollment in the second year of the course.
Written exam, with multiple choice questions.
Knowledge of the principles of physics of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
Knowledge of the principles of radiation protection of patients and workers.
Basic knowledge of diagnostic imaging: conventional radiology, CT with particular reference to the warnings relating to the use of contrast media; Magnetic Resonance, with particular reference to the contraindications of the examination and the use of contrast media; ultrasound.
Knowledge of the principles of radiobiology.
Knowledge of radiotherapy: types of radiation used; techniques (3D-conformal, IMRT-VMAT, stereotaxy, brachytherapy); indications (curative, post-surgical, palliative); treatment plans. Knowledge of the path of the radiotreated patient. Knowledge of the role of the nurse in radiotherapy.
