- Principles of thoracic image formation in radiology - Chest X-ray: Positioning, pleura, mediastinum, diaphragm, lung and cardiovascular (In normal and sick animals) - Strategies for reading chest radiographs and writing the respective report

The goal is to provide students with up-to-date scientific knowledge, enabling them to keep up with innovations in the field. Theoretical and theoretical-practical content will be made available digitally after each class. The integration of theory and practice enhances student interest and understanding. Theoretical classes, both synchronous and asynchronous, cover radiographic diagnosis through audiovisual presentations and active learning methodologies, such as gamification and case studies. Asynchronous classes focus on solving clinical cases, followed by tutorial discussions, fostering critical and creative thinking. Face-to-face theoretical-practical classes review and reinforce content, preparing students for hands-on practice. Practical face-to-face classes complement theoretical knowledge through direct contact with real cases and training on simulators, developing essential skills.
