Common training objectives (or common core)
Students must acquire a scientific grounding and theoretical-practical preparation for practicing as a specialist and the methodology and culture for lifelong learning, as well as a degree of professional, decisional and operative autonomy in the selected field of specialization. Students must acquire: core competencies deriving from the basic sciences, which underpin all the specialization paths and are indispensable for understanding instrumentation and the correct application of procedures and methods; core competencies in molecular and genetic biology, advanced knowledge of etiopathogenic mechanisms in neoplastic disease, adequate theoretical knowledge and clinical practice for prevention, diagnosis, therapy and follow-up in neoplastic patients; lastly, clinical knowledge enabling an accurate assessment of pathologies so as to select the most appropriate diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic options, also in compliance with existing norms in the field of radiation protection and protection, assessing risks, costs and benefits; the ability to communicate clearly and sympathetically with patients and family members. Lastly, students must acquire the ability to liaise with attending physicians and other specialists, as well as collaborate with other radiology professionals and understand scientific English.
Core training objectives
-Physics of radiation;
-Physical basis of the formation of images in traditional radiology, computer tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance and nuclear medicine;
-Quality control;
-Radiation protection and iatrogenic injury;
-radiobiology;
-IT;
-human anatomy, clinical anatomical radiology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, anatomical pathology.
School-specific training objectives
-instruments and materials used in diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology;
-pharmacology and clinical aspects of the various organs and systems, to be able to work in close cooperation with clinical colleagues of other disciplines;
-methodology of application in relation to the various pathologies as well as the possibility of morphological and functional studies of organs and apparatuses with methods using both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation;
-knowledge of how to carry out angiographic examinations and radiological intervention on organs and systems, as well as the specific indications in comparison to surgery.
Related or additional objectives
-The organization and administration of Diagnostic Imaging and Interventional Radiology services, including the management of human and financial resources and equipment;
-Medical and legal issues relating to the profession of medical radiologist;
-Basic knowledge of the scientific methods necessary to understand scientific literature and for individual research.
