Jaroslav Tintěra

Lecturer:

Jakub Foukal, Marek Mechl, Jaroslav Tintěra

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation

Synopsis:

Applied anatomy, topology and clinical anatomy in radiology. Pathologic - radiological correlations on different fields. The dose x resolution x pathologic - radiological correlations - the attempt of „historical“ diagnostics in the light of radiation protection. Technical potential of radiological methods and their application in radiological - anatomic - pathologic correlations. The image post processing and topology.
