Aims

The objectives of this course are:
1 / To familiarise the student with the various radiological imaging modalities so that
    - the student has knowledge concerning
           *  RX, CT, ultrasound, MRI
           * Advantages / disadvantages of each technique
           *  typical protocols of the examination
    - The student can inform the patient about past / future radiological examinations.
2 / To familiarise the student with the radiological terminology so that
    - The student is able to correctly interpret a full report of an imaging examination
    - The student can "translate" the radiological jargon into understandable information for the patient;
    - The student is able to indicate the described abnormalities on the medical images to the patient.
3 / To provide the student with basic knowledge of the radiological interpretation of an imaging examination so that
    - The student is able to recognize the most frequently occurring pathology on medical images,
    - The student is able to assess the severity of the abnormality;
    - The student is able to adapt physical therapy in accordance with the follow-up radiological examinations
4 / The increase medical knowledge (ie physiopathology, histology, therapy ,...) of the student by interpretation of medical imaging
