On Radiography learn to see that no one else sees. For x-rays make recordings of the body's interior, where it must be examined for disease, or to be carried out a treatment. Filming is done via X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI scanners and other technical equipment.

Radiographers typically work in hospitals where they operate imaging equipment like X-ray equipment and scanners. The combination of advanced technology and patient contact is simultaneously a combination of hard and soft values. Therefore, the radiographer in daily contact with people of all ages, and work combining both the technological and the human aspect. It is an association of the interaction between patients and technology that makes the program a very different education, which is reserved for the few who are interested in both areas. For it takes both much empathy, since you must be able to relate to people who may have incurable diseases, such as cancer to be treated, and at the same time it requires a great knowledge and a certain interest in the technology and how it can be used in respect to treatment of these patients.

You get equipment into the hands of millions of crowns. Equipment that makes a Ferrari engine to look like children's toys.

The program takes 3½ years and consists of equal parts of theory and practice, where you learn to use the equipment. So there is plenty of time with hands on. You will among other things to have with radioactive tracers to do, typically in cancer patients. What you learn in theory is quickly tested by in real life. Once you've got proven your abilities and needs new theoretical input, then you should aptly back in class and learn more from the talented teachers and international guest teachers.

It requires just a great curiosity and a small interest in the technique to take this training, but be prepared to learn a lot in a short time, since it is a very intense experience where you among others learn about anatomy rather short time.
