Study Organisation and Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The undergraduate professional study programme in Radiological Technology, lasting three years, educates highly competent healthcare professionals for work in medicine and related fields, including dentistry and veterinary medicine. Upon completion of the programme, students obtain the professional title Bachelor of Radiological Technology (baccalaureus)<\/strong> and acquire specific theoretical knowledge and practical skills that enable employment in hospital and non-hospital, public and private healthcare institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme prepares students for work in three key areas of modern medicine: diagnostic and interventional radiology, radiotherapy and oncology, and nuclear medicine. Radiological technologists participate in all segments of radiological diagnostics, interventional procedures, and therapeutic processes, and as equal and indispensable members of multidisciplinary teams, they collaborate daily with specialists in radiology, radiotherapy and oncology, and nuclear medicine. In recent years, the demand for this profession has significantly increased in fields such as invasive cardiology, vascular surgery, and advanced diagnostics in dentistry and veterinary medicine, where the application of modern radiological diagnostic and interventional procedures has become standard practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The profession of a radiological technologist requires an exceptionally high level of expertise, responsibility, and professional accountability. During education and later professional work, they independently operate complex diagnostic and therapeutic equipment of high technological and financial value, while simultaneously implementing measures to protect patients, themselves, and other staff from unnecessary exposure to ionising radiation. This level of responsibility requires precision, maturity, ethical conduct, and a constant focus on patient safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, since radiology, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine are highly dynamic fields in terms of technological and methodological development, characterised by continuous innovation and rapid implementation of new technologies, there is a constant need for lifelong learning. Radiological technologists are expected to engage in continuous education, practical training, and active monitoring of modern professional and scientific advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study programme is therefore diverse, dynamic, and interdisciplinary. It integrates topics from medicine, technology, physics, and computer science, enabling students to acquire a broad range of professional competencies and to work independently and responsibly in modern healthcare systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching is delivered through lectures, seminars, laboratory and clinical exercises, demonstrations, and continuous practical work in real clinical environments. Clinical training is organised at the teaching bases of the Clinical Hospital Centre Rijeka \u2013 at the Clinical Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, the Clinic for Radiotherapy and Oncology, and the Clinical Department of Nuclear Medicine \u2013 where students gain direct experience working with patients and state-of-the-art medical equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transparency and quality assurance, all courses, course coordinators, and syllabi are publicly available on the official faculty website, allowing students detailed insight into course content, learning outcomes, assessment methods, and grading systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the programme, students prepare and defend a final thesis, an independent professional work through which, under the supervision of a mentor, they demonstrate the ability to integrate knowledge, think critically, and solve practical problems in the field of radiological technology.<\/p>\n\n\n
