Passed courses from semester 3 as well as 15 credits from semester 4 including clinical practice in radiography.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
1. Understand and describe the technical and physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MR) - technique.
2. Be familiar with the radiation dose concept and the laws that control the use of ionising radiation.
3. Understand and describe medical care related to angiography/interventional radiography.
4. Identify the basic anatomy in computed tomography, MR, and in angiography/intervention images as well as analyse skeleton on radiography images.
5. At the clinical practice the student should be able to:
- apply irradiation protection and safety aspects for patients, companion and staff at different examinations and treatments.
