Learning outcomes
|
The basic aim of Diagnostic imaging is to introduce students with the technical basics of imaging techniques and the interpretation of findings from a modality commonly used in veterinary practice. Attention is focused especially on the X-ray and ultrasound examinations of dogs, cats and horses. Marginal attention is devoted to advanced imaging methods (CT, MRI, scintigraphy). The basic teaching materials consist of PPT and PDF presentations drawn. The extended literature is available (in English language). After completing the course, imaging diagnostics, students are able to select a suitable diagnostic method for displaying a confirmation of the basic types of pathologies.
Theoretical knowledge The student knows the principles of safe handling of X-ray sources and the principles of radiation protection. The student knows the basic indications for X-ray and USG examination. The student knows the basic principles of X-ray interpretation and USG examination. Practical skills The student is able to indicate a suitable imaging diagnostic method for basic screening examinations and basic pathological conditions. The student is able to perform basic radiological and FAST ultrasonographic examination. The student is able to interpret (recognize) basic pathological conditions during X-ray and USG examination. Competence The student is competent to indicate the examination by imaging methods and to choose the appropriate imaging modality. The student is competent to perform basic X-rays and USG examinations of small animals and horses. The student is competent to interpret basic pathological findings from X-rays and USG examinations of small animals and horses.
