INTERNSHIP III

Course objectives

Through the internship experience, the student must be able to: • Knowledge and understanding (disciplinary area) Acquire manual skills in the use of Traditional Radiology Equipment; of CT Equipment and Nuclear Medicine, Magnetic Resonance and Radiotherapy Equipment. 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.

Exam mode
Evaluation methods The exam will take place through an oral test with the teacher and the internship tutor and will focus on the following topics which will also include the knowledge obtained from the basic courses of the first and second year of the course: The X-ray beam / Traditional Radiology Equipment Exposure Parameters-Radiological Optics. The radiological image. Anatomical planes. The Standard and Special X-ray projections of the entire Skeletal System. Interpretation of the correctness criteria of radiographic projections. Management and Reception, interpretation of the request and positioning of the patient for the execution of the various radiographic projections Physics and instrumentation of CT equipment Acquisition-Reconstruction-Visualization-Archiving according to a correct post-processing of a CT image Body-Thorax, Abdomen-Brain-Osteoarticular-Angiotc CT technique protocols Diagnostic techniques and practical applications of Nuclear Medicine Physical principles and study protocols in MRI Procedures in Radiotherapy Ethical Principles of the Profession and Code of Ethics Principles of Radiation Protection The assessment will be based on the ability demonstrated by the student in the presentation in terms of knowledge and skills achieved, synthesis skills, critical skills. The final grade will be expressed out of thirty.
