Study Guide

Objectives

The aim of the study course is to develop knowledge of the internal diseases and surgically treated conditions, as well as the pathogens and the laboratory tests that are significant for the work of a radiographer.

After completing the course, the student:
• knows Internal diseases and surgically treatable conditions important for the work of a radiographer and is clear about their prevention and treatment
• knows the reproduction and behaviour of microbes, the most common microbes causing diseases and infectious diseases as well as the operation of the human immune system
• knows the essential laboratory examinations in radiography and radiotherapy and are aware of how to process the samples related to their work
• knows the principles of ECG
