Radiological physics in radiodiagnostics

Code: Radiological physics in radiodiagnostics

Description: Certified course of MZ ČR

The course is designed for:

for non-medical health professionals with professional competence to practice radiological physics.

Completion of this course is one of the prerequisites for access to the attestation exam in the field of specialization education Radiological Physics and to acquire specialized competence of Clinical Radiological Physics with special expertise in radiodiagnostics.

The certified course consists of a theoretical and a practical part.

In the theoretical part, the student will acquire basic knowledge in the fields of physics and radiation detection, the basics of X-ray diagnostics, computer data processing and radiation protection problems in radiodiagnostics and interventional radiology. This knowledge is further complemented by self-study using recommended literature during the course.

The aim of the practical part is to provide students with practical skills in basic dosimetry, in working with ionizing radiation meters, in evaluation of properties of X-ray devices, in radiation protection, in radiodiagnostics and interventional radiology.
