Good knowledge of the basic of physics of imaging techniques (X rays, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance, Ultrasound).

The Diagnostic Radiology course is designed to be relevant and suitable for all medical students, regardless of their ultimate career choice or interests; this course is not designed solely for students planning to pursue a career in radiology. The goals of the course are to acquaint medical students with the fundamentals of diagnostic imaging, to highlight optimal imaging pathways for various clinical conditions and to provide basic information on the radioprotection of the population and workers.

The course has a significant didactic component.
Topics range from general radiology issues (strengths and limitations of the imaging modalities, giustification and appropriateness of their use, advantages and contraindications of contrast media) to specialty-specific topics as indications and basic image interpretation skills in chest, abdominal, musculoskeletal, neuroradiology, trauma, genitourinary and breast imaging.
The knowledge will be further reinforced by the discussion of clinical cases emblematic of the subjects covered.
