Organize your work and participate in the organization of the department / service; Identify the critical elements in the diagnostic / therapeutic process related to the protection of privacy. • Ability to apply knowledge and understanding (disciplinary field) be able to perform traditional radiological examinations of the entire skeletal system. Know the architecture, characteristics and physical principles of a CT system and know the physical principles that are the basis of tomographs and pulse sequences used in diagnostic studies with Magnetic Resonance (MRI); understand the possible interactions of static magnetic fields, time-varying magnetic fields and radiofrequency fields with biological tissue and the necessary actions to mitigate their effects on Workers and Patients. He must also be able to recognize the different anatomical structures on CT, MRI and NM images. Knowing how to set up radiotherapy treatment plans. In MN he will have to know the management / manipulation and quality control of radiopharmaceuticals, diagnostic techniques and practical applications of conventional Nuclear Medicine and PET / CT; in addition, know the information for the management of the radioactive patient, the contamination of the operator and / or the environment, and the rules of conduct in the area. Adopt in every situation methods to ensure radiation protection. • Making judgment(transversal skills) be able to argue the meaning of a radiological investigation, a CT, MRI, NM investigation, know the technique of Radiotherapy Treatment Plans and acquire the ability to critically analyze the radiological request, formulating a coherent radiological technical work plan to the clinical question, applying all the criteria of correctness. • Communication skills (transversal skills) Knowing how to manage, welcome, identify, prepare and interact with patients by positioning them correctly according to the projections to be made in traditional diagnostic procedures or CT, MRI, NM to be performed and knowing how to use a scientifically correct language. Being a technically trained professional and at the same time attentive to the patient's needs in order to be able to offer not a sterile service but a real service to the person. • Learning skills knowing how to read and understand publications, care protocols, knowing how to ask questions. Knowing how to search for the bibliographic sources necessary to acquire new knowledge. Self-learning skills.
