The lectures take place on campus or via distance-bridging technology (Adobe Connect). Alternatively, recorded lectures are put on Fronter. During the course, the students work in groups to develop their knowledge through laboratory sessions with x-ray tubes and x-ray images. This results in a method book where the students present mechanical parameters, criteria for the images, how the projections are taken, location of the patient and radiation protection. The skills are practiced and examined through patient cases. The course contains compulsory laboratory sessions and seminars. Examination Written individual examination that includes advanced anatomy including terms and concepts. The skills are examined and assessed through laboratory sessions, written assignments and seminar. Alternative examination formats may be used. Additional information This is a first-cycle course. Study supervision is provided in the course room in Fronter.
