Introduction
Language of instruction: Norwegian
The course deals with radiographic techniques and methodological principles related to conventional radiography. Skeletal and chest examinations make up the majority of examinations. Radiation protection and the principles of practical radiation protection are also an important part of the course. Newly qualified radiographers are expected to carry out such examinations independently and in accordance with professional criteria. This includes meeting the patient's need for communication and care, respond to the patient's illness or injury, and be able to produce and describe diagnostic images.
Parts of the course consists of practical training at diagnostic imaging departments. The practical training focuses on conventional radiography examinations of the skeleton and chest, where students are to gain practical experience of carrying out diagnostic imaging examinations in a satisfactory manner. The practical training gives students experience of both the technical and care aspects of the profession based on relevant theory.
The course consists of 11 weeks of which the first 5 weeks are theory and skills training, and 6 weeks of practical training.
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.
