Diagnostic Imaging is a compulsory subject of 5 credits that is taught in the third year of the Physiotherapy Degree. It allows to know the different imaging techniques and their practical interpretation for the diagnosis of diseases that affect the human body. In this course, the foundations of imaging techniques, their indications, contraindications and biological risks will be studied, as well as their principles of interpretation and the anatomy of the main structures of the musculoskeletal system through plain radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Not applicable
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
-To know the radiological anatomy by plain radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, bones and vascular-nervous structures.
-To know how to interpret the main anatomical regions of the musculoskeletal system in the different imaging techniques.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
-To become familiar with the different imaging techniques that study the locomotor system; its indications and contraindications.
-Learn the bases of the different imaging techniques that study the locomotor system, its biological risks, patient protection systems and their interpretation.
-To identify and describe the anatomy of the upper limb through the interpretation of plain radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and classroom ultrasound.
- Identify and describe the anatomy of the lower limb through the interpretation of plain radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and classroom ultrasound.
- Identify and describe the anatomy of the spine through the interpretation of simple radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance studies.
The student at the end of the course must be able to:
-select the most suitable and safest imaging tests for the study of a certain anatomical region and pathology according to the type of patient.
-identify the radiological anatomy in the different imaging tests.
-performing and knowing how to interpret basic ultrasounds of the main anatomical structures of the upper and lower limb.
