MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS THEORY

CO:1 Develop practical and theoretical skills of various                haematological, immunological,                clinical biochemical, and microbiological Parameters.

CO:2 Analyze images of X-Ray, PET, MRI and CT

scan                              (using

photographs).

CO:3 Operate the microscope, centrifuge, and other laboratory equipment.

CO:4 Analyse the Excretory products and other body fluids.

CO:5      Compare      and contrast                   between different lifestyle related diseases,               theri                   causes, symptoms and possible treatments and strategies to combat these diseases. CO:6 Contribute effectively in course- specific interaction
