- Conoscere elementi e normativa relativi alla radioprotezione.
Expected learning outcomes
Al termine dell'insegnamento lo studente dovrà avere una buona conoscenza dei fondamenti delle discipline propedeutiche (fisica, statistica e radioprotezione) e avere familiarità con il metodo scientifico preparandosi ad applicarlo in situazioni concrete. Avrà acquisito competenze e strumenti per la lettura e la
gestione dell'informazione.

Lesson period: First semester
Assessment methods: Esame
Assessment result: voto verbalizzato in trentesimi
Single course
This course can be attended as a single course.
Course syllabus and organization
Sezione: Bosisio Parini
Prerequisites for admission
No further or different prerequisite is required than those necessary for the admission to the course of study.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam is written and consists of sections of multiple choice questions and / or simple exercises referring to the modules of the course and optimized for the module content and type. Each answer has a score. The test is considered passed with a score ≥ 18 in each of the sections. The final score is given by the average of the sections scores weighted by the CFU of the modules. The results of the test are available on the Ariel web page.

Statistica medica
Course syllabus
Brief description of the main epidemiological and clinical study designs
Basic principles of data collection and management, qualitative and quantitative variables and their characteristics.
Building and reading the contingency tables. Two-way tables.
The concept of probability and risk. An application of probabilities: the measures of diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity).
Building and reading different types of graphs: pie charts, bar charts, histograms, scatter plots.
Measures of central tendency: mode, median, quartiles, means.
Measures of dispersion: range, interquartile range, standard deviation, coefficient of variation.
Measurement and interpretation of the statistical association between two qualitative variables: difference between risks, relative risk and odds ratio.
