Profile of the programme

Graduates in "Medical Radiology Techniques for Imaging and Radiotherapy (TRMIR)" are, according to the law of 10 August 2000, n. 251, article 3, paragraph 1, operators of the health professions of the technical-diagnostic area and the technical-assistance area who carry out, with professional autonomy, the technical procedures necessary for the execution of diagnostic methods on biological materials or on the person, or activities technical assistance, in implementation of the provisions of the regulations concerning the identification of the figures and related professional profiles defined by decree of the Minister of Health. Graduates in the class are equipped with adequate preparation in the basic disciplines, such as to allow them the best understanding of the most relevant elements that underlie the pathological processes that develop in developmental, adult and geriatric age, on which the their diagnostic intervention. They must also know how to use at least one language of the European Union, in addition to Italian, in the specific area of ¿¿competence and for the exchange of general information.

Programme learning outcomes

Graduates of the class, according to the aforementioned training courses, must achieve the skills foreseen in the specific professional profiles of the areas identified by the decree of the Ministry of Health. In particular, within the healthcare profession of Technician of Medical Radiology for images and radiotherapy, graduates are healthcare professionals who are responsible for the attributions provided by the D.M. of the Ministry of Health September 26, 1994, n. 746 and subsequent modifications and additions; that is, they are responsible for the deeds of their competence and are authorized to carry out investigations and services with ionizing radiation, in compliance with the radiation protection standards established by the European Union. The graduate must be able to apply the scientific and experimental method to the study of anatomical-physiological and technological phenomena relevant to the profession by demonstrating that he can use the main foundations of the basic disciplines applied to the technological problems of imaging diagnostics for this purpose. Being able to understand the diagnostic and therapeutic prescriptions of the specialist physician, the indications of the specialist physicist and to implement them. Knowing the biological risks associated with one's professional acts and knowing how to optimize the relevant application processes through supervision, updating and adaptation of one's professional tasks to technological development. Knowing how to analyze, process, transmit, archive the results of one's professional acts by acquiring the necessary statistical and IT skills. Knowing how to interact with the public and private health production network.

Qualification requirements and regulations

In order to be admitted to the final degree exam, which has an enabling value, the student must have passed all the required exams, the final checks of the traineeships and obtained all the free choice credits. The final exam of the C.d.L. in Medical radiology techniques for imaging and radiotherapy consists of: a) in a practical test b) in the discussion of a thesis, consisting of a theoretical-applicative dissertation. Only those who pass the practical test will be admitted to the discussion of the thesis. For the purposes of admission to the final exam, the method of calculating the average of the marks obtained in each integrated course is arithmetic. It is possible for the student to write the thesis in English. The final exam is equal to 6 credits.

Examination regulations and grading scale

The evaluation is normally carried out by an oral or written exam; in some cases there are intermediate tests during the course; other elements of evaluation can be foreseen by the individual courses (participation in seminars, term papers, etc.). The assessment of disciplinary exams is expressed in thirtieths (0-30 scale), the grade minimum is 18/30 and the maximum mark is 30/30. To the honors can be added (30 cum laude) in case the quality of the exam is considered excellent. The vows are attributed by a commission composed of at least two teachers including the owner of the teaching that serves as President. The main exam sessions are held in the January / February, March / April, June / July, September / October. The students can support again the exam if not passed. The University supplies the ECTS tables of distribution of marks, indicating the incidence and statistical distribution of marks obtained from the exams passed by the students in each disciplinary area. The evaluation of the final qualification is expressed in one hundred and ten (0-110 scale), the minimum grade is 66/110 and the maximum mark is 110/110. The calculation of the final grade of each candidate takes into account the average of the marks obtained in disciplinary exams, as well as in quality of the research work or the work final publicly discussed in front of one examination board. At the highest grade can "praise" (110 cum laude) be added if decided unanimously by the Commission of exam.

Work-based learning

The internship is carried out for 52 credits at 3rd year (TIR IV) There are credits associated with the traineeship of 1st year (2 credits TIR 1) 2nd year (2 + 4 credits TIR 3-4)) for a total of 60 credits at the end of the three-year period.

Occupational profiles of graduates

The professional figure is located on the labor market mainly in radiological structures where "images" are produced for diagnostic purposes or where radiation is applied for treatment purposes (radiotherapy). employment opportunities: The probability of employment within the first 24 months of the end of the studies is very high. The professional figure is located on the labor market mainly in radiological structures where radiant (artificial or natural), thermal, ultrasonic and magnetic resonance energies are used (nursing homes, radiological centers, private or conventional radiological studies with the national health system) . Technical radiology graduates for medical imaging and radiotherapy can carry out their activity in public or private healthcare facilities, authorized according to current legislation, in an employee or freelance relationship. In particular, it will be able to carry out its activity in: departments and diagnostic services for images and radiotherapy, operating in hospital and extra-hospital structures of the National Health System and in similar private structures and in scientific hospitalization and care institutes; production industries and sales agencies operating in the field of diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy; university and extra-university research centers in the biomedical sector.
