- Educational objectives
- D1 - KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
the student must be able in the the interpretation of a radiogram, and to position correctly a patient to achieve a particular radiogram
D2 - APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
At the end of the training the student will be able to:
recognize the animal species of the individual radiograms
to know how to recognize the projection and anatomical region of the radiogram,
recognize and evaluate any pathological conditions
know how to adjust the X-ray equipment to perform different types of radiograms
D3 - MAKING JUDGMENT
after the learning phase the student must be able to evaluate the quality of the radiogram and its diagnostic validity
D4 - COMMUNICATION
the student must describe a radiogram with language and accuracy properties as if he were writing a report
D5 - LIFELONG LEARNING SKILLS
At the end of the training the student will be able to:- consult and understand scientific texts, even innovative ones,bibliographic updates, normative dictations, so as to employ them incontexts not only usual for the profession, including research, but alsooriginals,- manage a sufficiently broad mastery of the subject to guarantee anacceptable basis for continuing professional updating through ongoinglifelong learning. - Prerequisites
- Prerequisites for Regulation LM 42 (general veterinary pathology)
- Teaching methods
- Theoretical activity. In the classroom on all topics in the program.
Practical activity. Both in the classroom with radiographs of subjects with different pathologies and in clinics by placing patients to be subjected to radiographic examination - Learning verification modality
- oral exam on the general part
practical test of reading and interpretation of a radiogram of small and one of large animals
the student must demonstrate knowledge of the radiological anatomy of the individual species and of the different anatomical districts. He will also have to recognize the different pathological conditions present in the individual radiographs.
