- Synopsis:
-
The subject is oriented at understanding the principle and function of particular elements of radiodiagnostic systems (X-ray tube, generator, film, amplifier of the image, processing and evaluation of the image information). The students are familiarized with characteristics of the use of the interaction of X-rays for obtaining the diagnostic information required. Particular radiodiagnostic modalities are considered including routine skiascopy, skiagraphy, computerized tomography and also specific questions concerning mammography and dental diagnostics. Attention is also paid to the control of quality and its effects on minimizing radiation load to patients. Principles of radiation protection are discussed resulting in minimizing the personnel as well as public. Possibilities of potential accidents in radiodiagnostics and their prevention are also considered.
- Requirements:
-
Active participation in seminars, including home preparation, required 100% attendance at seminars, absence can be excused only for serious and documented reasons for agreement with the exercises. The method of compensation shall exercise teacher. Credit will be awarded for essay submission, which will be acceptable leader for the exercise and successfully performed the control test and final test of the content of exercise and given a separate study. In the test, the student may use literature, Internet, mobile phone or consult with other students.
The written test is part of the combined control of:
- ABC-type answers (possibly more correct answers) - correctly answered question 1 point
- The answer when it is necessary to respond in writing (very important issues) - 5 points
Students can reach the maximum number of 80 points, with the successful execution of the recovery test is necessary to reach 60 points (75%) and more.
Graded credit will consist of written part of the contents of lectures, exercises and given a separate study. In the test, the student may use literature, Internet, mobile phone or consult with other students. The oral portion of the credit is classified only in the case of an ambiguous test evaluation.
The written portion of the graded final test is combined from:
- ABC-type answers (possibly more correct answers) - correctly answered question 1 point
- The answer when it is necessary to respond in writing (very important issues) - 5 points
- The answer when it is necessary to respond in writing (conversion relationships, etc.) - 1 point
- The answer when it will be necessary to demonstrate the mathematical and physical knowledge (examples, etc.) - 5 - 15 points depending on the complexity of the issue
Students can reach the maximum number of 80 points, with the successful execution of graded credit is necessary to reach 60 points (75%) and more.
Rating ECTS:
A good 100-90 (excellent)
B 89-80 very good (very good)
C 79-70 well (good)
D 69-60 satisfactory (satisfactory)
E 59-50 enough (sufficient)
