9795857 - ANESTESIOLOGIA E CHIRURGIA
Module CHIRURGIA GENERALE

Purpose of the course and to give the student the basic training indispensable for a fundamental figure in the multidisciplinary context of the Senology or Breast Unit center. The TSRM in fact directly collaborates with the doctor radiodiagnosta, radiotherapist and nuclear and carries out, based on medical prescription, in autonomous way or in collaboration with other health figures, investigations that require the use of ionizing radiation both artificial and natural, of thermal energies , ultrasonic and magnetic resonance.
The technical skills must also be accompanied by adequate sensitivity, empathy and communication skills, in order to make the exams and procedures less stressful for the patients, to obtain good compliance from them and an understanding of the instructions.
To this end, the TSRM must have a basic knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the breast, including physical and radiological semiological aspects including breast after surgery, radiodiagnostic techniques, analogical mammography, but above all digital, tomosynthesis and CAD, echography, magnetic resonance imaging, Nuclear medicine (sentinel lymph node techniques, PET), radiotherapy, bioptic and retrieval methods.
