Study Objective:

The aim of the study is to achieve knowledge in the field of magnetic resonance and ultrasound at such a level that the graduates are able to include these methods in the overall framework of all imaging methods used in medicine, so that based on knowledge of the principles they can assess the advantages, but also limitations in their clinical use.
