Objectives

To teach Neuroradiology and Neuroimaging.

Learning outcomes and competences

The students should become knowledgeable about the theoretical background of medical imaging applied to disorders of the brain and skull, head and neck, spine and spinal cord (i.e., Neuroradiology). In addition, the currently vast range of advanced structural and functional Neuroimaging techniques will be presented, as well as the corresponding methodological background, and the potential clinical applications.

Working method

Presencial

Program

1. Neuroradiology (e.g., vascular, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, neurodegenerative, white matter, as well as spine and spinal cord pathologies);

2. Neuroimaging (e.g., basic principles of magnetic resonance, functional magnetic resonance imaging, brain connectivity analyses).
