Contrast Radiology: Techniques
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Acquire knowledge for the correct use of contrast media in Diagnostic Radiology. Apply the appropriate methods and techniques for studying the urogenital and digestive systems in relation to the clinical question.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student must have learned to:
- identify the examination techniques appropriate to the clinical questions posed with the use of different contrast media
- know the examination techniques and the equipment, which are currently used in the chest, abdomen and pelvic cavities with and without the use of contrast media
- to reflect on the scope of his work
- identify the examination techniques appropriate to the clinical questions posed with the use of different contrast media

Course syllabus and organization
Single session
Didactic methods.
Half of the students, according to pre-established shifts, will participate from time to time in face-to-face lessons in classrooms suitably equipped for the Covid emergency, where safety conditions allow it.
Furthermore, to allow them to be used both in synchronous and asynchronous mode for students not present in the classroom, the lessons will be held simultaneously on the Microsoft Teams platform and can be followed both in synchrony on the basis of the first semester and in asynchronous mode, because they will be registered and left on the same platform available to students not present in the classroom.
Lessons may also include pre-recorded materials.
If the situation worsens, the lessons will be delivered through the Microsoft Teams platform and can be followed both in synchronous according to the scheduled time and asynchronously, because they are recorded through the same platform.
Program and reference material.
The program and reference material will not change. The teaching material (slides displayed during the lectures) will be available on the Ariel platform dedicated to teaching.
Methods for verifying learning and evaluation criteria.
The exam will take place in writing in the presence or in the event of an aggravation of the pandemic, with the moodle + seb + webconference modality to be activated in collaboration with the Center for educational innovation and multimedia technologies of the University of Milan.

Prerequisites for admission
In-depth knowledge of the contents of the course "Morphological and functional Basis of Life" and "Biochemistry".
Assessment methods and Criteria
The assessment of learning takes place through the final exam, which verifies the acquisition of the knowledge and skills expected for the lessons of the integrated course through a written test lasting 2 hours. The test is based on 8 open-end questions, 2 questions for each module. The exam is considered passed if the student has satisfactorily answered each question and achieved a minimum score of 18 points in the written test.
The booking on the UNIMIA portal, within the dates established for each appeal, is mandatory for the examination.
