Introduction
Language of instruction: Norwegian/English
Computed tomography (CT) provides great opportunities for accurate and detailed diagnosis, and has increased in scope in recent years. The specialisation course in CT focuses on protocol development, new trends in parameter selection, post-processing and image analysis. This course has been developed with a focus on new technology and in-depth study of innovative imaging methods.
Required preliminary courses
