K. Young, N. Schuff
This course will focus on teaching modern techniques for the analysis of multi-parametric medical imaging data, including structural, functional, and spectroscopic imaging. The objective is to introduce students to modern methods for processing and analysis of large volumes of heterogenous data with a specific focus on MRI data.
170.04. Introduction to Radiology. (1 units) Fa. Prerequisites: None. Restrictions: Restricted to 1st and 2nd year medical students; enrollment limited to 20 Lecture 1 hours.
R. Breiman
This course is intended for first-year and second-year medical students who are interested in medical imaging from a clinical or research perspective. Through weekly lectures by radiologists from the UCSF Department of Radiology, student will be introduced to the various specialties within the field of radiology; the fundamental theory, clinical utility, and limitations of each imaging modality; and, the most recent scientific advances in and future applications of medical imaging.
170.05. Radiological Imaging in the Emergency Department. (1 units) Fa. Prerequisites: None. Restrictions: None. Lecture 1 hours.
R. Breiman
This course is a presentation of XRay and Ultrasound images and cases as is commonly seen in the Emergency Department. Both presenting injuries and radiologic test will be covered in order to give students more experience reading and utilizing XRay and US imaging modalities. Topics: Approach to CXR; Chest trauma; Cardiac/Pulmonary/Infections; Adult extremity fractures; Pediatric fracture; U/S; Spinal imaging; Brain imaging; Blunt abdominal trauma; General abdominal pain/KUB/UTI.
