Introduction

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of skills and general competence:

Skills

The student can

  • identify and describe anatomical structures and obvious pathology in images from skeletal and chest examinations
  • master the use of conventional X-ray equipment
  • apply scientific knowledge and perform chest X-ray and the most common skeletal examinations independently
  • assess and choose exposure parameters for conventional radiography examinations
  • describe image criteria and assess image quality for chest and skeletal examinations and carry out simple image processing
  • apply medical image and information systems under supervision, and describe how patients and laboratories are prepared for non-contrast CT examinations
  • recognise anatomical structures in images from non-contrast CT examinations

General competence

The student can

  • apply the principles of practical radiation protection
  • apply relevant hygiene guidelines
  • give patients precise and individually information, take care of the patient and create a sense of security during the examination
  • demonstrate attitudes that are important to professional practice and cooperate with other staff

Required preliminary courses

The students will complete six weeks of external practical training at diagnostic imaging departments.

Learning outcomes

The following must have been approved in order for the student to receive an assessment:

  • a minimum of 90% attendance in practical training

Teaching and learning methods

Assessment of practical training. The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course and the continuous assessment that students are subject to throughout the practical training period.

A minimum attendance of 90% is required in order to for a student’s practical training to be assessed. For more information, see the general part of the programme description about practical training assessment.

Resit assessment: Students who fail a period of practical training normally have to retake the whole practical training period.
