OBJECTIVE

The course aims to provide a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of medical physics and technologies applied to radiodiagnosis, while also strengthening the culture of radiation protection in radiologist training. The course's pedagogical structure is based on the new Physics and Radiation Protection in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Handbook, developed by the Brazilian College of Radiology, which serves as the primary bibliographic reference.

METHODOLOGY

The course will be theoretical and intensive, with a scientific program focused on the practical application of radiodiagnostic physics and radiation protection concepts in the clinical context of different imaging diagnostic modalities. Classes will be expository and interactive, taught by a multidisciplinary team composed of medical physics professionals, radiodiagnostic physics specialists, and radiologists working in various areas of imaging diagnostics. The training will be conducted online via the Zoom Meeting platform, which offers interactive resources designed to encourage active student participation during the sessions. Mechanisms such as live chat, real-time feedback, a question-and-answer system with statistical visualization, and multiple-choice polls configured as questionnaires with the possibility of anonymous responses will be used. The results of these polls and questionnaires will be viewed in real time during the meeting and also exported as a report at the end of each session. This approach aims to stimulate participant engagement and encourage content retention, contributing to a more active and effective learning process.
