Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to carry out, independently under supervision, commonly occurring
computed tomography (CT) investigations and administrate drugs/contrast agents in a safe way for the patient
which includes:

Being able to apply research methodology, demonstrate skills and explain how image formation takes
place to ensure diagnosis in common computed tomography examinations

Being able to describe underlying topographic anatomy and pathology for commonly occurring computed
tomography examinations

Being able to apply interview, observation and communication methodology to assess, plan, carry out,
evaluate and document nursing for individuals with disease and their loved ones in connection with
computed tomography examinations

Being able to describe and discuss current drugs and the field of use of contrast agents, adverse drug
reactions, risks and contraindications for CT examinations, and being able to use and explain Omnivis to
calculate GFR and explain the different contrast agent phases in computed tomography examinations

Being able to apply radiation protection measures and observe patient safety and security in connection
with computed tomography examinations

Being able to demonstrate a professional attitude and evaluate his/her ability to carry out computed
tomography examinations and identify personal areas of improvement

Being able to describe the different tasks during computed tomography examinations and interact with
the participating staff

Being able to describe and apply current laws, statutes and local guidelines that apply at computed
tomography examinations

Course delivery
The course offers the student introductory and inspiring lectures in the different section in order to reach the
course's objectives. The lectures take place on campus via the distance-bridging technology Adobe Connect and
via recorded lectures. The student acquires knowledge concerning real examples via the placement. Assessment
of placement takes place in a two-party conversation between the student and supervisor. The course contains
individual written examination, seminar with advanced assignments and workshops.
Examination
The student's placement is examined and assessed by showing skills and knowledge during the placement with
an implemented exam-patient and via the assessment form. The placement assessment takes place in a twoparty conversation between student and supervisor. The theoretical part is examined through individual written
examination, workshop with patient case, and a seminar with different advanced assignments where the student
must connect practical knowledge with the theoretical with reference to literature, statutes and laws. These
sections are compulsory. Alternative examination formats may be used.
Only one re-examination/transfer is given for the course in relation to the placement. If there are special
circumstances, additional retakes/transfers can be granted. Special circumstances are those stated in
Regulations of the National Agency for Higher Education HSVFS 1999:1.
Additional information
This is a first-cycle course.
Study supervision is in the course room in Fronter.
"To do a placement in and carry out this course must you have passed the placement on the most recent course".
