Objectives
The Equipment 2 course is divided into four teaching modules: Principles of Tomography with 1 CFU, Radiological and Tomographic Anatomy with 2 CFU, Technical-Methodological Aspects of Tomography with 1 CFU, Image archiving systems with 1 CFU, for a total of 60 hours of lessons. The course aims to promote the acquisition of theoretical knowledge concerning the principles and methods of tomography and knowledge of radiological and tomographic anatomy. The technical skills are related to Computed Tomography (CT).

- Principles of CT
- CT systems
- elements of Radiological and Tomographic Anatomy
- Image archiving
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
- Ability to distinguish between different tomographic methodologies.
- Ability to identify the main anatomical structures on radiological images.
- Ability to identify the main anatomical structures on tomographic images.
- Ability to select treatment options consistent with the highest quality evidence
- Ability to describe and use image archiving systems
Transversal skills
- Ability to update through bibliographic tools.
Prerequisites
In order to understand and be able to apply most of the topics covered in the teaching, it is necessary to have passed the preparatory exam of Equipment 1

Teaching Methods
The course includes frontal lessons lasting 60 hours.
Attendance at lectures and laboratory exercises is mandatory. In order to sit the final exam, the student must have attended at least 75% of the teaching hours. The method of verifying attendance is announced by the teacher at the beginning of the lessons.
Verification of learning
The achievement of the teaching objectives is certified by passing an exam with an evaluation out of thirty. The test as a whole makes it possible to ascertain both the capacity for knowledge and understanding, and the ability to apply the skills acquired, and the ability to present, and the ability to learn and develop solutions in independent judgement. The professors in possession of the coordinated modules participate in the overall collegial evaluation of the student's progress.
