Description
In this Go!Cards set, you will find a total of 50 questions and answers on the topic of Medical Imaging and Informatics for teaching radiological content in medical training. You can quickly review and test the most important facts before the exam to see where your knowledge stands.
Our Go!Cards were developed according to the current Curriculum for Undergraduate Radiological Education of the European Society of Radiology (ESR).
This set includes 50 questions and answers with the following subchapters:
- X-Ray – Radiation Physics
- X-Ray – X-Ray Radiation
- X-Ray – Important Dosage Terms
- X-Ray – X-Ray Equipment
- CT – Structure and Techniques
- CT – Image Formation
- CT – Image Quality
- Angiography
- MRI – Basics
- MRI – Structure and Technique
- MRI – Sequences
- Sonography – Fundamentals
- Sonography – Device and Technique
- Informatics
Tip: You should view the flashcards in full-screen mode, then they appear a bit larger. 🙂 We recommend using Chrome or Edge as a browser, as other browsers may display minor errors with the Go!Cards.
For the duration of your subscription (which will be automatically renewed each month if not canceled), you have full access to the Go!Cards. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Sharing your access data with third parties is, of course, not permitted (see also our general terms and conditions).
