Programme of activities

 

PATIENT CARE

  • Improvements in, and assistance with:
  • Technical quality of x-ray films
  • Plain film interpretation
  • Performance of contrast studies
  • Ultrasonographic examination and interpretation
  • Extension of indications for US, CT, etc.
  • Conferences, discussions.


TEACHING

Using a concentric model means that subjects are dealt with in an increasingly detailed manner.

  • Phase 1 General orientation

  • Phase 2 Systematic approach

  • Phase 3 Problem oriented approach

We have already started with phase 1 and 2, with some capita selecta of phase 3 as an illustration of the role of US in diagnostic imaging. Phase 2 should include:

  • Applied basic physics in roentgenology
  • CT, MRI (as far as needed for indication, and interpretation)
  • Skeleton - normal growth and development
  • Skeleton - focal pathology
  • Skeleton - diffuse pathology
  • Chest, heart and lungs - plain film diagnosis
  • Abdomen, general - plain film diagnosis
  • Abdomen, general - US, CT
  • Gastro-intestinal tract
  • Genito-urinary tract
  • ORL area
  • Central nervous system.

Each subject, together with the relevant literature, should be dealt with in one week, or 2 - 3 subjects in a week, repeated in 2 - 3 periods. Phase 3 should in clude capita selecta, and might be intermingled in phase 2, if appropriate.

Notice that some subjects are practically endless (skeleton), and of course it is impossible to cover paediatric radiology in every detail.

The teaching needs substantial preparation, including literature research, selection of radiographic material, slides, etc.).

RESEARCH

Cooperation in:

  • Scientific studies and publications with imaging aspects.
  • PhD-theses with imaging aspect
  • Designing future investigations.
