Training (third year)
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The Course aims to give the student his final preparation to work environment, through a depth experience in Conventional Radiology, plus the chance to practice on Computed Tomography, Interventional Radiology and Mammography. The student traineeship will also be focused on Radiotherapy, where the student will get familiar with the oncological patient and with the main radiotherapic treatment procedures, and and Nuclear Medicine (gamma camera, PET, Hot lab).
Expected learning outcomes
At the end, students must:
- know how to apply the protocols of investigation in Traditional Radiology, in standard or emergency situations, and know how to adapt them to non-conventional situations in order to get a proper iconographic result
- know how to apply the MRI diagnostic protocols
- know how to verify the technical quality of an MRI image
- know how to manage patient, equipment and devices in Interventional Radiology
- know how to apply the diagnostic protocols in Senology
- know how to assess the technical quality of a Senology examination
- know how to apply the radiation protection principles in Radiotherapy
- know how to read and delivery a treatment plan in Radiotherapy
- know how to work with in team for simulation procedures in Radiotherapy
- equipment management in Nuclear Medicine
- application of diagnostic protocols in Nuclear Medicine
- hot lab procedures
- use of PET Scanner
- tutorials about quality control procedures
- know how to relate to the patient in different possible situations during daily work.

Prerequisites for admission
Full knowledge of the courses of "Morphological and functional basis of life", "Radiobiology and radioprotection", "Conventional radiology: Imaging and techniques", "Computed Tomography: Techniques", "Contrast radiology: techniques", "Magnetic Resonance: Techniques" and "Neuroradiology and Interventional Radiology: Techniques", "Radiotherapy" and "Nuclear Medicine".
Teaching methods
Experiential teaching:
The internship transforms theoretical knowledge into practical skills, linking classroom learning to practical experience. The student, guided by a Professional Tutor and coordinated by the Director of Professional Activities, develops professional, gestural and interpersonal skills.
