Recommended Prerequisites
IIt is highly desirable that students have acquired notions of anatomy, physiology, pathology and imaging. Some of the information and training given here has already been taught in previously in the curricular unit of Imaging , although knowing a greater applicability in the medical and surgical clinical modules.
The existence of an Imaging DVD can prove to be a good supportive tool, as well as the remaining recommended bibliography.
Teaching Methods
Theoretical and practical classes:
Taught presentially.
Teaching by problem solving and discussion topics.
Handling of US machine and probes.
Probe positioning for recognition of norml anatomical patterns.
Real-time leraning through practical exercises.
Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
-Know the physical principles , benefits and risks of ultrasound
-Describe he main indications and limitations of this imaging modality
-Identify the imaging anatomy in ultrasound
-Describe image changes recognizing their fundamental pathophysiological mechanisms
-Propose ultrasound examinations based on clinical history
Objectives at the level of clinical skills:
-Know to use ultrasound as a diagnostic tool , developing skills for the correct prescription
Objectives at the level of attitudes:
-Understand the xperience felt by the patient in a given exam
-Apply the cost-effective concepts and cost-effectiveness in prescribing ultrasound examinations
-Understand the role of ultrasound in clinical decision
-Recognize the benefits of multidisciplinary integration of information provided by ultrasound.
