RAD 21Q: The Magic of Medical Imaging

For centuries, the only way to know what was happening inside our bodies was to open them up, and look. Everything changed very late in the 19th century and throughout 20th century, with the development of increasingly powerful medical imaging tools such as X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound. Today, X-rays can depict tiny bone cracks, ultrasound can visualize heart valve dysfunction, CT can map our vascular system, MRI can see small brain defects, and PET imaging can help identify aggressive cancers. In this seminar, we will discuss the magic of medical imaging and the principles and technologies behind these tools that enable seeing inside our body. We will discuss the main medical imaging modalities, and discuss their applications with real life examples. Students will learn about medical imaging as well as about common conditions and diseases, and aspects of human anatomy. Essential components of the seminar include active participation during the discussions and student-led presentations on medical imaging topics of interest. The seminar has no prerequisite other than an interest in medical imaging and curiosity about the human body.

RAD 201: Introduction to Radiology

This seminar is offered to pre-clinical medical students interested in learning about how image-based anatomy can reinforce their knowledge of gross anatomy as they progress through the term. This also serves as a refresher for MSII students. Within this seminar, students will explore image findings in human anatomy in the normal and diseased state. The course will also cover when to request X-Ray, Flouroscopy, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, and Nuclear Medicine. There will be time to explore Radiology as a career choice as well as research opportunities in Radiology.
Terms: Aut | Units: 1

RAD 210A: Research Seminar Series for Biomedical Physics (BMP 210A)

This seminar series is designed for students interested in biomedical physics, radiation therapy, image-guided therapy, diagnostic, interventional, and molecular imaging, and other forms of disease detection and characterization including molecular diagnostics. The course will give an overview of research laboratories and projects occurring in Radiology and Radiation Oncology. Speakers include Stanford faculty and research scientists, as well as industry professionals.
Terms: Aut | Units: 1 | Repeatable 2 times (up to 2 units total)

RAD 222: Physics and Engineering Principles of Multi-modality Molecular Imaging of Living Subjects (BIOE 222, BMP 222)

Physics and Engineering Principles of Multi-modality Molecular Imaging of Living Subjects ( RAD 222A). Focuses on instruments, algorithms and other technologies for non-invasive imaging of molecular processes in living subjects. Introduces research and clinical molecular imaging modalities, including PET, SPECT, MRI, Ultrasound, Optics, and Photoacoustics. For each modality, lectures cover the basics of the origin and properties of imaging signal generation, instrumentation physics and engineering of signal detection, signal processing, image reconstruction, image data quantification, applications of machine learning, and applications of molecular imaging in medicine and biology research.
Terms: Aut | Units: 3-4
Instructors: Levin, C. (PI)

RAD 301A: Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: This is the core radiology clerkship designed for students going into any medical specialty, including radiology. The four-week course includes didactic and case-based sessions as well as observation in subspecialty radiology reading rooms (considering student preferences for subspecialty). Students will learn the pros and cons of various imaging modalities and will gain an appreciation for radiation risks and the benefits and risks of radiographic contrast materials and nuclear medicine tracers. Emphasis is placed on fundamentals of clinical applications and interpretation for radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine studies. Students are taught primarily by radiology faculty, with emphasis on interactive sessions including neurological, cardiothoracic, breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, pediatric, and nuclear medicine imaging. Students participate in case-based reviews with radiology residents based on interesting cases they have seen in the reading rooms or other rotations. Interested students may have an option to actively participate by dictating basic clinical cases, similar to radiology trainees. Extensive online learning materials including videos of didactic sessions are made available. Two quizzes are administered during the course and must be passed to receive course credit. During the COVID-19 pandemic, sessions have been either virtual or (preferably) in person, as guided by School of Medicine guidelines at the time. PREREQUISITES: Medicine 300A, Pediatrics 300A, or Surgery 300A strongly advised. Visiting students wishing to do this clerkship must receive prior approval from the Clerkship Coordinator before applying. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 4, 5, 8, 9, full-time for 4 weeks, 22 students per period. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Erin Grady, M.D. and Bryan Lanzman, M.D. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Sergio Sousa, 650-724-7518, smsousa@stanford.edu. REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS: Where: Instructions on Canvas; Time: Check schedule in Canvas. CALL CODE: 0. OTHER FACULTY: Radiology faculty, fellows, and residents. LOCATION: SUMC.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 6

RAD 302A: Nuclear Medicine Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: Acquaints students with the basic principles of nuclear medicine, the instrumentation used (including SPECT-CT, PET-CT, and PET-MRI), the gamut of procedures available, and the judgments used to select specific diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and interpret results. The experience should be especially helpful for students planning a career in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, urology, or oncology. The student experience includes instruction in radiologic physics, instrumentation, responsibility for selected isotopic procedures, daily teaching rounds for review of all cases studies, observation of theragnostic patient visits and therapeutic administration and special conferences. Please note: Visiting students must obtain approval from the Department prior to applying for this clerkship. Please email requests to Ann Vo (annvo@stanford.edu). PREREQUISITES: Medicine 300A.
