What you will learn during your studies

Professional Use of Imaging
You’ll learn how to safely use modern imaging techniques – from projection radiography to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and mammography, all the way to fluoroscopy-guided examinations. In the process, you’ll prepare for examinations, perform them properly, and learn to analyze and process image data professionally.

Supporting Diagnostics and Therapy
Radiologic technologists support patients not only during diagnostic examinations but also during therapeutic procedures. During your studies, you’ll explore nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, and radiation therapy. At the same time, you’ll learn to provide competent care to patients and adhere to the highest standards in radiation protection, dosimetry, and patient safety.

Using Medical Technology Safely
You’ll work with modern medical technology and digital information and communication systems. This includes, among other things, digital image processing, image post-processing, and technical quality assurance. In this way, you’ll develop the skills to perform radiological examinations and therapies with technical confidence and a focus on quality.

Working Scientifically and Interprofessionally
In addition to technical expertise, you will develop scientific, communication, and interpersonal skills. You’ll learn to work scientifically, engage with current issues in radiology technology, and write your Bachelor’s thesis. At the same time, you’ll practice professional communication, interprofessional collaboration, and responsible interaction with patients and other healthcare professionals.

Combining Theory and Practice
The Program combines theoretical foundations with practical exercises in the SkillsLab RT and extensive professional internships. Early on, you’ll apply your knowledge in realistic learning situations and gradually gain experience in everyday clinical practice.

Here's how your educational journey continues

The Bachelor’s Program in Radiologic Technology lays the foundation for your future professional and academic development. If you’d like to deepen your expertise in diagnostic imaging and take on more advanced clinical responsibilities, CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers a part-time Master’s program in Advanced Practice in Diagnostic Imaging.

The Master’s Program qualifies radiologic technologists for specialized roles in diagnostic imaging. You’ll deepen your expertise in areas such as structured image analysis and interpretation, quality assurance, process optimization, and the use of Artificial Intelligence in radiology. In addition, the program prepares you for research, development, and management roles.
