Oral lectures and clinical cases discussion
Assessment methods
Oral discussion aimed at assessing both the knowledge of the basic concepts of nucleare medicine procedures and the degree of independence of the student in merging theoretical and practical concepts. Particular relevance will be attributed to the aquired skills of ameliorating the quality of the obtained images for the nuclear medicine physicians' reporting
