For the correct functioning and pursuit of the subject, the assistance to all the practical meetings is obligatory. Only a punctual not assistance will be accepted and properly well-taken. Plenary lessons Williams be held online .
The specific bibliography for every CM, LH, MC or ABP will be hung on the Intranet in enough advance so that the pupil could consult it before each sesion.
Introduction
In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of
the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect
the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.
Imaging techniques include those disciplines that use the radiologic images in a diagnostic and therapeutic way and are the following:Radiology,Nuclear Medicine, and other basic science disciplines such as Radiophysics, Radiobiology and Protection Radiology.
The knowledge of the different imagig techniques and how are they used in the clinical practice, constitute fundamental aspects for the diagnostic of the illnesses that affect to the human body.
The Medicine student should acquire enough knowledge on the physical bases of the different diagnostic and therapeutic skills as well as of the different explorations indicated for the study of the different parts of the human body .
Pre-course requirements
None
Objectives
The main aims of the course will allow the student to: 1. Purchase the knowledges of the physical bases of the different imaging techniques(Radiophysics). 2. Know the therapeutic (Radiotherapy) and adverse effects of the ionic radiations on the human body and how to avoid them (Radiology protection). 3. Identify the radiologic technic used, how it is performed, use of contrasts, anatomical area studied, preparation of the patient for the examination as well as main indications and contraindications (Radiodlogy /Nuclear Medicine). 4. Recognise the anatomical structures and realise a systematic reading of the different examinations performed (*Radiology/Nuclear Medicine). 5. Be able to indicate the more sensible and specific examination in each clinical situation.

CTS-3 - To promote and ensure respect for human rights and the principles of universal accessibility, equality, non-discrimination as well as the values of democracy and a culture of peace.
16 - Recognize and deal with situations that put life in immediate danger and those that require immediate attention.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will have purchased knowledges on the physical bases and technical aspects of the different imagin tests as well as of the indications, contraindications, biological risks of the different imagin techniques and of the therapeutic uses of the examinations and will know to recognise the main anatomical structures in the different imaging techniques studied during the course.
