General provisions

The course is included in semester 5 and contains 4,5 credits in theoretical and 7.5 credits in practical education.

Entry requirements

Passed courses from semester 3 as well as 15 credits from semester 4 including clinical practice in radiography.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Understand and describe the technical and physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MR) - technique part 2.

2. Be familiar with the radiation dose concept and the laws that control the use of ionising radiation.

3. Understand and describe medical care related to angiography/interventional radiography, computed tomography, MRT and conventional radiography.

4. Identify the basic anatomy in computed tomography, MRT, and in angiography/intervention images as well as analyse skeleton on radiography images.

5. At the clinical practice the student should be able to:

- apply irradiation protection and safety aspects for patients, companion and staff at different examinations and treatments.

- use sterilisation technique and carry out nursing acts regarding patient preparations, aftercare and possible complications as well as participate in the carrying out documentation at studies and treatments.

- under supervision carry out the most common conventional radiology- and computed tomography examinations.

- be able to prepare for and participate at the most common occurring MR-examinations.

- handle the equipment in use and medical technical peripheral equipment

- handle and administrate drugs (contrast medium)

Instruction

Lectures, seminars and study assignments. Clinical practice in image and functional medicine.

Clinical practice can also be done during evenings and weekends.

Assessment

The examination takes place continuously during the course in the form of written and oral presentations, and an individual examination. At the placement, a clinical examination is included.

Other directives

For courses with clinical practice applies the following: student who has not become passed during clinical practice has a right to undergo renewed placemanet once (Dnr 3579/98, 3651/981.) The date is decided in each individual case, based on when teacher and supervisor are avalable, mainly during semester. Clinical practice can be done even during evenings/weekends and placement in other location is possible.

If special circumstances apply, the examiner can make exceptions from the stated exam method and decide that a student is assessed in a different way. Special reason can e g be notice of special educational support from the coordinator of the university.
