The course aims to deepen the discipline in order to develop adequate critical skills and appropriate operations.
Provide accurate knowledge of the machines and study techniques for the radiological evaluation of the respiratory system
to make known the imaging diagnostic techniques and their clinical applications with particular reference to cardiovascular and mediastinic structures and the role of the TSRM in this field.
The course aims to introduce the mechanisms of regulation of the respiratory system, the pathophysiology of major diseases of the respiratory system, the fundamental concepts of respiratory control and the pathophysiology of major respiratory diseases. We will analyze the most important diagnostic tests in Pneumology, the main respiratory diseases and the therapies of the main diseases of the respiratory system
The course will provide theoretical and practical notions of traditional Radiology and ultrasound.
Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.
Lessons (generally for 2 hours) as scheduled in the calendar – available in the following link:

On-line lessons could be also performed.
Notions of main Diagnostic Techniques for ECO, RX, TC, RM, Nuclear Medicine, Interventional Radiology;
Application of "traditional radiology" to the cardiovascular system;
lecture with moments of interactivity
The course aims to deepen the knowledge of some contrasting methods of Traditional Radiology still in use in most of the Radiology departments in public and private structures in order to provide the student with the basic information necessary for the radiological investigation: principles, materials, methods, precautions and notions of radioprotection related to each individual procedure. The course will be theoretical and practical with exercises on the operation of radiological and ultrasound equipment.
Notions of main Diagnostic Techniques for ECO, RX, TC, RM, Nuclear Medicine, Interventional Radiology;
Application of "traditional radiology" to the cardiovascular system;
Application of TC, Cardio TC and TC angiography in the cardiovascular system;
Application of RM, Cardio RM and RM in the cardiovascular system;
Applications of Nuclear Medicine Techniques in the Cardiovascular System;

Pathophysiology and defense mechanisms of the lung, Lung function tests, Asthma, COPD, Pneumonia, Pleural, Interstitial lung disorders, Acute respiratory failure and chronic, Bronchiectasis, TB
The learning of the subject requires a specific deepening on the topics covered during the lessons. It is also essential to know the general aspects of the discipline and basic notions of anatomy.
