Scope of work after graduation

A graduate radiological technologist produces radiological images of optimal quality—either independently or as part of a team—operates sources of ionizing radiation, and participates in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, while strictly adhering to radiation protection measures.

S

Imaging and diagnostics

Production of radiological images of optimal quality on classic and digital devices, evaluation of the quality of the image and delivery to the radiologist for interpretation.

N

Nuclear medicine

Preparation of the patient and radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, and work with devices that measure doses of radiopharmaceuticals introduced into the body.

R

Radiotherapy

Computer planning of radiation, CT planning, creation of individual protection for patients and precise positioning of the patient according to the given dose of radiation.

Z

Radiation protection

Implementation of radiation protection procedures, participation in dosimetry and in regulatory bodies dealing with practical and theoretical aspects of protection.

K

Quality Control

Radiological image quality assessment, performance of quality control tests, and participation in the quality improvement team for radiological facilities.

D

Digital systems

Working with PACS, RIS, and BIS systems, converting CT/MRI data into 3D models, and using CAD tools to design anatomical models.
