Learning outcomes

The student has in-depth knowledge of the radiographic anatomy of CT images in each non-neurological anatomical district. He is able to learn reading and recognize the CT anatomy of the human body and the major body pathologies.

Course contents

CT anatomy of: thorax (lung, pleura, mediastinum, diaphragm, vessels), abdomen and pelvis (liver, pancreas, spleen, adrenal, kidney and urinary tract, vessels, genital system, digestive tract, peritoneum and retroperitoneum).

Readings/Bibliography

The teaching material of the lessons held is available, updated, on the 'Virtuale - virtual learning environment' - University of Bologna platform, with limited access to university students.
An CT anatomy text can be used to complete the program, for example:

Radiological anatomy. Fleckenstein P, Tranum-Jensen J (Italian edition). Piccin 2016.

Radiological anatomy (atlas of human anatomy for bioimaging). Weir J, Abrahams PH, Spratt JD, Salkowski LR. LSWR Edra Editions 2013.

Multidetector CT Anatomy - Body. Romano L, Silva M, Fulciniti S. Springer Verlag 2010.

Teaching methods

Frontal lessons - PPT slides

Assessment methods

The verification takes place through a final written exam aimed at ascertaining the knowledge and skills acquired. The test includes 30 multiple-choice questions, also accompanied by CT images, diversified for each topic of the program and periodically updated.

The score is +1 for each correct answer and 0 for wrong or absent answer. The maximum score obtainable by providing all correct and complete answers is therefore equal to 30 cum laude. The test is passed with a minimum score of 18/30.

The time available to the student is 1 hour and during the test the use of support material (books, notes, computer supports) is not allowed.

The grade reported in the single teaching module is mediated (weighted average by number of credits) with the partial grades obtained in the other modules of the integrated course.

The outcome of the on-going test of the single module will be valid only for the academic year of the test itself.
