ESPB		4.5	Status
Condition		Passed exams in anatomy, pathological physiology, general and special pathologie. Enrolled VII semester.
The goal		Students should get acquainted with the principles, possibilities and limitations of radiological, ultrasound and endoscope diagnostics. During the course the students will acquire the skills needed to analyze and interpret the obtained images in order to disclose the existing pathological processes and offer a valid and true diagnosis.
The outcome		Students will master the art of imaging; recognize and analyze the pathological changes present on a x-ray film,; will know how to perform an ultrasound examination; will interpret the obtained US images and make a diagnosis based upon them; will obtain the skills needed to perform endoscopy; take tissue samples by endoscopy.
