The Bachelor's Degree in Medical radiology, imaging and radiotherapy techniques enables the acquisition of knowledge of the operating principles of the equipment in use in diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy, as well as a basic grounding in understanding the physio-pathological elements characteristic of childhood, adulthood and geriatrics at which diagnostic and/or therapeutic intervention is directed in the various professional fields (Radiodiagnostics, Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine).
The graduate carries out independently or in cooperation with other health professionals, on medical prescription, investigations requiring the use of ionising radiation sources, both artificial and natural, thermal and ultrasonic energy, magnetic resonance, as well as interventions for physical or dosimetric protection.
Medical radiology health technicians carry out their activities in public or private health care facilities, in an employment or freelance condition.
The degree course lasts three years and qualifies graduates to practice the profession. Admission is subject to passing the admission competition. Educational activities are divided into lessons, workshops and internships. The final examination consists in a practical test and a written dissertation of a theoretical-applicative-experimental nature.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Medical radiology technicians are health professionals in the technical-diagnostic area and the technical-assistance area who carry out with professional autonomy the technical procedures necessary to perform diagnostic methods on biological materials or on the person, or technical-assistance activities.
The graduates in Medical radiology, imaging and radiotherapy techniques (L/SNT3) are qualified to carry out, independently or in cooperation with other health professionals, all interventions requiring the use of ionising radiation sources, whether artificial or natural, thermal energy, ultrasonic energy, nuclear magnetic resonance as well as interventions for physical or dosimetric protection; they take part in the planning and organisation of work within the structure in which they work in accordance with their competences; they plan and manage the provision of polyvalent services within their competence in direct collaboration with the radiodiagnostic doctor, the nuclear doctor, the radiotherapist and the medical physicist, in accordance with diagnostic and therapeutic protocols defined in advance by the head of the structure; they are responsible for the acts within their competence , in particular by checking the proper functioning of the equipment entrusted to them, providing for the elimination of minor malfunctions and implementing quality assurance verification and control programmes in accordance with predefined indicators and standards; they contribute to the training of support staff and directly contribute to updating their professional profile and research.
The graduates in Medical radiology, imaging and radiotherapy techniques carry out their activities in public or private health facilities, in an employment or freelance relationship.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
In order to be admitted to the Degree Course, it is necessary to hold an upper secondary school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad, recognized as suitable by current regulations.
In order to be admitted in the course, the candidates should have acquired good human contact skills, good teamwork skills, and the ability to analyze and solve problems.
Admission to the degree course is subject to a programmed number of students according to Law 264/99 and involves an entrance examination consisting of a multiple-choice test.
In order to be admitted in the Bachelor's Degree in Medical radiology, imaging and radiotherapy techniques, an adequate background in the fields of physics and mathematics is required.
Students admitted to the course with a grade below the set minimum grade will be assigned additional training obligations (OFAs) in the disciplines of physics and mathematics in the manner specified in the degree course regulations.
FINAL EXAMINATION
In order to attain the Bachelor's Degree, as provided for in the ministerial decree, the student must pass a final examination consisting in:
- a practical test in which the students must demonstrate that they have acquired the theoretical-practical and technical-operational knowledge and skills pertaining to the specific professional profile
- the drafting of a final dissertation. The dissertation, on topics or disciplines closely related to the professional profile, may have a research, technical-application or compilation profile. A student who fails the practical test cannot be admitted to the dissertation.
Both phases of the final examination will take place in front of a Commission composed in accordance with the regulations and the faculty and degree course teaching regulations. The degree examination is valid as a state exam qualifying for the profession. The final examination is organised in two nationally defined sessions.
The modality of implementation of the final examination and its timing are defined in the academic calendar, published on the University website and communicated by the Student Administration Office.
