Contrast Radiology: Techniques
A.Y. 2024/2025
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
- 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

Responsible
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 an oral test. The exam is considered passed if the student has satisfactorily answered each question and achieved a minimum score of 18 points in the oral test.
The booking on the UNIMIA portal, within the dates established for each appeal, is mandatory for the examination.
