Course unit content

Sure! Here is the translated text:

The Radiology course provides a comprehensive understanding of diagnostic and therapeutic imaging techniques, including conventional radiography and radioprotection. It covers the physical fundamentals of ionizing radiation, the production and properties of X-rays, and radioprotection standards. Students learn clinical applications in oncology and orthopedics. The program includes practical exercises and thematic seminars, with assessments through written and oral exams, and the discussion of the internship.
