The graduate will get information about the basic procedures for preparing and positioning patients for individual imaging diagnostics, information about the basic technical parameters of the devices. Bone studies - preparation of contrast material, administration of contrast material, performance of the contrast study procedure (GIT, URO...) The graduate can set up the x-ray machine to obtain a high-quality roentgenogram. Gain knowledge of different types of X-ray development - Skiagraphy. The student knows how to properly prepare and position the patient for individual examinations. He masters the essential basics of work safety at the workplace of imaging diagnostics. |
