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.
