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).
