Intended learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

Carry out simple radiography examinations

Demonstrate the ability to understand and interpret a radiography referral and provide clinical information
and topographic anatomy to the patient in connection with imaging

Describe projections and image characteristics for simple conventional radiography examinations

Describe the body plan, movements, directions and positions of the body, use appropriate concepts and
terms and describe the topographic anatomy of the body

Apply basic radiation protection in a clinical environment

Describe how different exposure parameters influence the image quality

Collaborate in practical sessions and reflect on his/her abilities and skills
Course content

Referral management

Topographic and advanced anatomy in relation to examination technique

Supervised laboratory sessions and radiography examinations

Projection theory and critical image review in relation to image characteristics and projections

The body plan, movements, directions and positions

The effect on the image quality and radiation protection of exposure parameters
Course delivery
This course offers students introductory lectures in the different parts to reach the course objectives. 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.
