General description Radiology or Imaging Diagnosis has been defined as: “Medical specialty that participates in the diagnostic decision of patients through images, directing the sequence, carrying out the obtaining techniques and interpreting the results obtained. Likewise, interventionist techniques in which the use of the image is simultaneous fit within it”.
Radiological images provide documentary evidence for diagnosis. The impact of radiology on the clinical management of hospitalized patients is very high since 80% of clinical decisions are based on radiological tests.
It is necessary to point out a general consideration regarding this matter and that is that Radiology's ultimate goal is the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and this notion of clinical activity that operates on people clearly elevates and separates it from the purely rationalist and scientist of the basic sciences and gives it a human dimension that must permeate, clearly, the whole of its teaching.
The doctrinal body of radiology is multidisciplinary and subject to constant innovation. It is heterogeneous and complex since it brings together such disparate teachings that they constitute individualized specialties in the current practice of health care. Therefore, it is intended to provide the student with a panoramic vision of the care environment of these specialties so that the future professional knows what are the possibilities and limitations of the corresponding techniques, their fundamental indications, and their special language, so that they know the report of a specialist and interpret the most common radiological images.
The Radiology Guide and the programming have been modified to adapt to the R.D. 822/2021 in terms of basic, general, specific and transversal competences, and for its adaptation to the "Regulation on assessment, qualification and quality of teaching and the student learning process" (Claustro UVIGO 04/18/2023).
