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
