Introduction
The course provides a systematic introduction to the fundamentals of X-ray images. The course is divided into three main parts. The first part focuses on advance anatomy and pathology in light of diagnostic imaging. The second part gives students an in-depth introduction to diagnostic imaging and projection theory. The third part deals with the technology of conventional X-ray equipment from the point of view of post-processing, optimisation and exposure technique.
Recommended preliminary courses
Gradert karakterskala fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått eksamen.
Required preliminary courses
Students must have been admitted to the Master’s Programme in Health and Technology - Specialisation in Radiography. The course is also offered as an individual course, with the same admission requirements as for the specialisation.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student
- can account for and assess different theories and procedures in conventional radiography
- can critically assess the representation of relevant anatomy and pathology in the imaging material
- can account for relevant additional projections for special examinations and consider whether these are relevant
- can critically assess quality and patient safety in the health service
- can critically assess procedures adapted to different groups of patients, for example in geriatrics and paediatrics
- can assess causal connections between post-processing algorithms, radiation doses and image quality
Skills
The student
- can assess image criteria and image quality independently
- can apply post-processing algorithms independently
- can apply methods for quality development work, including patient safety
- can assess different methods of diagnosis in the field of medical diagnostic imaging
- can evaluate their own practice
General competence
The student
- can convey and discuss issues in the field with colleagues, for example radiographers, radiologists, physicists, clinicians and others with whom it is natural to cooperate
- can make ethically and professionally justified assessments and decisions in professional practice
- can formulate, analyse and assess practical and subject-related issues in an independent, systematic and critical manner and on the basis of science
- can identify and assess their own need for competence development and specialisation
- can serve as a resource and driver in development work in the workplace
- can lead optimisation projects and make professional decisions based on systematically obtained research and experience-based knowledge
- can work to safeguard the universal right to equitable health services by focusing on quality and the development of procedures
- can contribute to phasing out and implementing methods, technology and sustainable innovation intended to improve the quality of services
Teaching and learning methods
Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars and skills training. Teaching is largely based on the flipped classroom method. Digital learning resources will be made available to students in advance, and the time they spend at the university will primarily be spent working on assignments and group work.
Course requirements
The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:
- minimum attendance of 80% at seminars and in skills training
- two individual written assignments of up to 1,000 words
- individual subject note including documentation of 30 selected X-ray examinations and evaluations
Assessment
Individual written home exam over 3 days with a scope of 3,000 words (+/- 20%).
The paper can be written in English or a Scandinavian language.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent før eksamen kan avlegges:
- Det er krav om 80 % oppmøte i den praktisk-metodiske aktivitetslæren og i all studentaktiv undervisning.
- Studentene skal gjennom gruppearbeid (2-4 studenter) lage en poster som de presenterer i ca. 10 minutter for medstudenter på et seminar. Temaet for posteren skal være knyttet både til studentenes praksiserfaringer og forskningslitteratur fra emnet.
- I tilknytning til praksis skal studenten utarbeide et refleksjonsnotat fra praksis knyttet til lesson study metodologien. Omfang: 1000 ord +/- 10 %.
Se programplanen for mer informasjon om arbeidskrav og krav til deltakelse i undervisningen.
Grading scale
En individuell, skriftlig semesteroppgave på 4500 ord +/- 10 % om selvvalgt tema. Tema og problemstilling skal godkjennes av emneansvarlig.
Ny/utsatt eksamen
Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres som ved ordinær eksamen. Ved ikke bestått karakter kan semesteroppgaven omarbeides en gang. Etter dette må det leveres ny oppgave.
Examiners
Alle hjelpemidler tillatt.
Admission requirements
Intern og ekstern sensor.
Overlapping courses
Emnet setter søkelys på undervisning i kroppsøving, og på hvordan utvalgte didaktiske tilnærminger og ulike former for vurdering i faget kan fremme elevenes læring. På bakgrunn av empirisk og teoretisk forskning om kroppsøving vil studentene kritisk analysere ulike perspektiv på didaktiske spørsmål i faget. Emnet vil også knytte studentenes erfaringer fra praksis til aktuell forskningslitteratur.
