| Preliminary Knowledge: | Basic knowledge in the interpretation of X-ray diagnostics, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and nuclear diagnostics images. | ||||||||
| Objective: | To provide students with an understanding of the use of basic knowledge of various radiological examination modalities - X-ray, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and nuclear medicine in the interpretation of radiological images through clinical case analysis, linking the visual signs found in the radiological images with the patient's complaints, clinical and laboratory picture. | ||||||||
