(in Polish) Diagnostic imaging WMCM-LE-DI-e
The student is expected to attend classes prepared on the basis of the recommended core literature and possessing knowledge consistent with the curriculum for the first and second years of medical studies, with particular emphasis on anatomy and physiology.
The classes involve discussions of selected issues with students comprising of conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography. Practical classes involve independent student work, analysing provided, annonimised cases of patients referred to the Department of Radiology on an emergency or elective basis, taking into account both inpatient and outpatient settings. During these classes, students acquire knowledge of the role of clinical data in planning examinations and establishing diagnoses; radiation protection; indications and contraindications for specific imaging examinations; patient eligibility for contrast agent administration; patient positioning; and the course of imaging procedures.
Students also acquire knowledge of how to select the appropriate imaging examination for a specific clinical situation and how to plan the appropriate examination protocol for a given indication. They develop the ability to assess the quality of examinations performed, differentiate physiological findings from pathological conditions, and recognize typical radiological presentations of common diseases.
The course is organized into 15 teaching days, the total of 90 classes. 45 minutes each.
1. Diagnostic Imaging and Interventional Radiology – Introduction.
2. Diagnostic Imaging of Abdominal Diseases.
3. Diagnostic Imaging of Chest Diseases.
4. Ultrasonography (Part 1).

11. Diagnostic Imaging of the Central Nervous System, Head, and Neck.
12. Diagnostic Imaging of the Cardiovascular System.
13. Breast Imaging.
14. Ultrasonography (Part 3).
15. Interventional Radiology, Course Review, and the final assessment.

Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student:
- W1: Describes environmental and epidemiological determinants of common diseases relevant to diagnostic imaging (E.W1).
- W2: Recognises the main radiological features of common diseases (F.W10).
- W3: Explains the indications, contraindications and patient preparation requirements for imaging examinations, including contraindications to contrast agents (F.W10).
- W4: Describes imaging techniques used to guide medical procedures (F.W10).
- U1: Evaluates radiographs showing common types of fractures, particularly fractures of long bones (F.U7).
Assessment criteria
Assessment criteria
The course assessment takes place in oral form on the last day of the three-week teaching block and is conducted by the course coordinator or a designated person. Students are entitled to take the course assessment once on the regular date and once on a resit date. The format and date of the resit are determined by the course coordinator. Failure to pass the course assessment results in failing the course.
