Introduction
Language of instruction: Norwegian
In this course, the student will continue to develop skills from the practical training period in the first year of the programme. The course includes practical training in CT, MRI, radiation therapy and conventional radiography. Students may also undergo practical training in one or more of the following: interventional radiography, paediatric radiography, nuclear medicine and mammography.
Most of the institutions that make up the external practical training arenas for this programme are located in Oslo and Eastern Norway. The students must therefore expect to commute during one or more of their periods of practical training. Students are assigned to diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy units. It is emphasised that the students should become familiar with the profession early on and that they will have practical training in all three years of the programme.
Students must comply with the clothing regulations in force at the practical training establishment. Special requirements for tests or vaccination may apply at individual establishments.
Required preliminary courses
Approved laboratory course in KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJM1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, or corresponding qualifications.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student knows the principles that form the basis for:
- statistical processing of analytical measurement data
- quantitative methods with the use of internal and external standards and standard addition
- acid and base equilibria, preparation of buffer solutions
- molecular spectroscopy techniques such as UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy
- atom spectroscopy techniques such as flame spectroscopy and ICP
- detection limit determination, sources of noise in spectroscopy and chromatography
- chromatographic separation, descriptions of column efficiency and separation ability
- chromatographic techniques such as gas chromatography and liquid chromatography
- quality control and quality assurance in a chemical laboratory
Skills The student is capable of:
- performing quantitative analyses in accordance with specific procedures
- calibrating and adjusting common measurement instruments
- assessing sources of error and calculating the uncertainty in analytical measurements
- choosing the appropriate laboratory equipment and using it correctly
- using different chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques and using the instrumentation correctly to produce reliable measurement data
- using software to aquire and process data from chemical instrumentation
- using Excel in data processing and interpretation
General competence
The student:
- has basic knowledge of quality requirements in a chemical laboratory
- is capable of performing quantitative analyses using different quantification techniques and separation and measurement methods
- has insight into statistical methods for the processing of chemical measurement data
- has knowledge of how accuracy and precision in measurement results are affected by sources of error and uncertainty in instrumentation, procedures and work techniques
- has insight into the application, limitations and functioning of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods
Teaching and learning methods
The teaching is organised as lectures, exercises and laboratory instruction.
Course requirements
The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:
- 5-day laboratory course with 5 written assignments (two individual and three in groups of 2-4 students, 10-20 pages per assignment)
- Some exercise sessions related to the laboratory course will be compulsory. These sessions will be announced separately.
Assessment
Individual written exam, 3 hours.
The exam result can be appealed.
In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead of written. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the exam result cannot be appealed.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.
Grading scale
A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.
Examiners
One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
Overlapping courses
The course builds on KJFP1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.
