The Department of Radiologic Technologies is organizing a workshop on the concept of Therapeutic Nutrition, also referred to as Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). Medical Nutrition Therapy is defined as a clinical approach that provides tailored dietary regimens based on an individual’s medical condition, under the supervision of a qualified nutrition specialist. It may involve specific dietary modifications, structured meal plans, or even enteral nutrition, depending on the patient’s health status. Therapeutic nutrition is applied across a wide range of clinical conditions, most notably diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, hypertension, renal disorders, and other medical cases commonly found in hospitals. This raises several critical questions: What is the significance of adopting Medical Nutrition Therapy in most hospitals? When should it be implemented? Can it be considered a fundamental approach in the management and treatment of various health conditions? These questions and more will be addressed in the workshop.
