AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Aim of the course is to introduce the basic principles of neuroimaging and to teach the role and the approriateness criteria of the different imaging modalities (i.e. CT, MRI and angiography) in the study of neurological diseases. At the end of the course the student will be able to decide which radiological exam is the most approriate for the study of different neurological diseases. She/He will understand principles of radioprotection and their importance in the selection of the radiological studies. She/he will understand the role of different neuroradiological studies in guiding clinical management of patients, in particular in the setting of neurological emergencies, including acute stroke. She/He will be able to describe the radiological findings of the most common neurological diseases.

TEACHING METHODS

Oral presentations

Small groups workshops. During the workshops clinical cases will be analyzed in an interactive manner with analysis of CT, MRI and angiography images; there will be emphasis on the analysis of CT images.
