Radiological Sciences Applied to Surgery
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Purpose of this course is to illustrate the students the clinical aspects of the most frequent pathologies studied by imaging techniques, so that they will be able to perform radiological investigations in a discriminating way. Therefore this teaching aims to illustrate the major diseases in general surgery, the main pulmonary malignant pathologies, in particular lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma, the traumatic and non-traumatic skeletal and soft tissue pathologies, as well as the most common families neoplasms and the current interdisciplinary approach.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end, students must:
- Know the basics of the most common diseases in general surgery, pulmonary and osteoarticular fields, and the main types of tumors with their diagnostic and therapeutic approach, in order to optimize radiological investigations from a quality point of view and be able to participate to the radiotherapy processes
- Have acquired an appropriate terminology and to know how to properly interpret requests from physicians and to be able to interact efficiently with doctors, as for the competences related to the technician.

Didactic methods.
Half of the students, according to pre-established shifts, will participate from time to time in face-to-face lessons in classrooms suitably equipped for the Covid emergency, where safety conditions allow it.
Furthermore, to allow them to be used both in synchronous and asynchronous mode for students not present in the classroom, the lessons will be held simultaneously on the Microsoft Teams platform and can be followed both in synchrony on the basis of the first semester and in asynchronous mode, because they will be registered and left on the same platform available to students not present in the classroom.
Lessons may also include pre-recorded materials.
If the situation worsens, the lessons will be delivered through the Microsoft Teams platform and can be followed both in synchronous according to the scheduled time and asynchronously, because they are recorded through the same platform.
Program and reference material.
The program and reference material will not change. The teaching material (slides displayed during the lectures) will be available on the Ariel platform dedicated to teaching.
Methods for verifying learning and evaluation criteria.
The exam will take place in writing in the presence or in the event of an aggravation of the pandemic, with the moodle + seb + webconference modality to be activated in collaboration with the Center for educational innovation and multimedia technologies of the University of Milan.

Prerequisites for admission
In-depth knowledge of the contents of the course "Morphological and functional Basis of Life". Knowledge of tumor biology.
Assessment methods and Criteria
Written test with 30 quizzes (with 3 or 4 answer options). Each exact answer will be awarded 1 point. There are no penalties for unspoken or incorrect answers. You can also take the test twice in the same session.
The end of course exam aims to evaluate the achievement of the set didactic objectives.
The booking on the UNIMIA portal, by the dates established for each appeal, is mandatory for the examination.
