High technology in medical images “for the Medical Imaging and Radio physics degree.
Methods: an investigation with a qualitative approach was carried out at Havana University of Medical Sciences at the "Manuel Fajardo" Faculty, year 2020, in which theoretical methods were used, and as empirical, the documentary analysis to verify the links and relationships that are offered in the theoretical references related to the characteristics that a textbook should have.
Results: it is structured in 11 chapters, each one with a brief introduction on the subject. It contains illustrations, diagrams and tomographic images, corresponding to the contents addressed and an updated bibliography at the end. It has a glossary of technical terms.
