Expected learning outcomes
After completing the course, students should be able to - Describe and apply techniques and methodologies for digital X-ray technology - be responsible for the control and optimization of image quality / patient radiation dose for diagnostic X-ray equipment - be responsible for the control and optimization of image quality / patient radiation dose for diagnostic CT - Account for and apply relevant radiation protection regulations
Required Knowledge
University: At least 90 ECTS credits including the courses Introductory Course in Medicine, 5 ECTS and Measurement Methods and Radiation Detectors, 7.5 ECTS or Industrial Radiation Physics, 7.5 ECTS, or corresponding. Profiency in English equivalent to Swedish upper secondary course English A/5. Where the language of instruction is Swedish, applicants must prove proficiency in Swedish to the level required for basic eligibility for higher studies.
Examination modes
Part 1: Theoretical part 4,5 credits The part is examined with written exam. The grade is assessed with Fail (U), Pass (3), Pass with Credit (4) or Pass with Distinction (5).
Part 2: Laboration 3 credits. The part is examined with written laboratory report. The grade is assessed with Fail (U) or Pass (G).
On the whole course the grades Fail (U), Pass (3), Pass with Credit (4) or Pass with Distinction (5) are set. To pass the course it requires that all examinations and obligatory tasks are approved.

Students who do not pass the regular examination renewed examination in accordance with the Umeå University Regulations for tests and examinations at the undergraduate and graduate level (FS 1.1.2-553-14) could be arranged. The first re-test is offered not later than two months after the first examination. When the ordinary examination takes place in May or June, d a first retesting opportunity is given within three months after the first examination.

A student who has taken two examinations in a course or part of a course without passing, has the right to have another examiner appointed, unless there are specific reasons against it (6 ch. 22, § HF). Requests for new examiners should be addressed to the head of the Department of Radiation Sciences.
Other regulations
In the event that the course expires or major changes are introduced, the students are assured at least three occasions of examination (including regular examination) as prescribed in the syllabus to the course that the student originally registered in over a period of a maximum of two years from the previous syllabus expired.
