| Conference | Students will study the principle diagnostic tools, including : -Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), radiology (including notions of the physics of nuclear magnetic resonance, principles of image production by MRI, instrumentation and examination procedures, the physics of X-Ray production, inter-actions of X-Rays/ matter in biological tissue, principles of scanning, image formation and instrumentation. -Nuclear Medicine where the operating principles will be presented of different imaging equipment devices used in nuclear medicine, functional and metabolic imaging (with application examples), the monophotonic gamma camera and the PET camera Students will also have conferences on innovative medical technologies used in cardiology, reanimation... and robotic-assisted surgery... |
| Visit | Visit of the Department of Nuclear Medicine and of the Department of Radiology of the Saint-Etienne University Hospital, visit of DIWII. Possibility to attend a robotic-assisted surgery or a coronarography procedure (limited number of places). |
