  • ApresentaçãoPresentation

    The study cycle in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy encompasses the fields of Nuclear Medicine, Radiology, and Radiotherapy. Its scientific domains enable the development of a range of activities related to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for the entire body. These include studies in diagnostic imaging such as Conventional Radiology, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Mammography, Digital Angiography, Bone Densitometry, and Ultrasound. In the fields of radiotherapy and nuclear medicine, it covers therapeutic studies, particularly in oncology, such as Radiopharmacy, Conventional Nuclear Medicine, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Nuclear Hematology, Radioimmunoassay Dosimetry, and Radiotherapy, performing various therapeutic activities. Students of the Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy program earn a Bachelor¿s Degree after 4 years of study, qualifying them to work as Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technicians (CNAEF area: 725 ¿ Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologies).

Razões para Frequentar este Curso Reasons

  • Access to three working areas: Graduates in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy have license to work as a Radiology, Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine Technologist, areas with high rates of national and international employability;
  • Clinical areas in permanent development: The degree in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy represents a constant opportunity for contact with technical and scientific innovation, regarding both diagnostic and therapeutic applications;
  • Interdisciplinary work in diagnosis and therapy: Clinical areas that mostly deal with patients from different medical backgrounds, allowing contact with a wide variety of pathologies and clinical conditions;
  • Specialized faculty: In all teaching areas of Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy, IPLUSO has an experienced faculty, regarding both knowledge and practical clinical applications;
  • Strong practical and laboratory component: The Bachelor in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy has a strong clinical and laboratory component. In addition to classes in a laboratory context on the School's, classes and activities in a clinical or hospital context are promoted.
