Learning and Teaching Methods
The module is based on a classical lecture with manuscript and own notes. Hands-on demonstrations in clinical routine are presented to reinforce the material taught. During the routine, the use of the different imaging systems can be observed. Interactive sessions to discuss technical aspects of the topics presented in the lectures will also be provided.
Media
Lecture: blackboard, computer, projector
Literature
Accompanying lecture notes. Currently scientific literature.
