Radiological Technology

Overview

Radiographers make images of the human body with the help of large medical technology equipment. To do so they use imaging technology that implements ionizing or non-ionizing radiation. The methods range from skeletal radiology to magnetic resonance imaging. In this way they support the early diagnosis and treatment of several serious diseases. Diagnostic radiology, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine are therefore the focus of the degree program in which radiation protection is a key issue.

What you can offer

You are interested in both medicine and technology and are therefore looking for an intersection that combines both. You have already acquired a strong foundation in mathematics and physics. You approach problems logically and analytically, display manual dexterity when operating equipment and have a strong sense of responsibly. Your good spatial imagination helps you to analyze images. Despite all the physical and technical aspects, you never lose sight of the person, who you show great empathy. Strong social skills are also necessary for work in interdisciplinary teams. Your curiosity makes you open to science and research in order to also keep up with the rapid advances in medical technology in the future.

What makes this degree program special

In the degree program you will learn how radiological technological methods work and what their specific advantages and disadvantages are. You are qualified to plan and perform analysis procedures with large medical equipment and to ensure quality assurance. Some methods only verify tissue changes, however nuclear medicine already identifies initial changes in metabolism. When performing radiological examinations, identifying cancer early, thanks to mammography for example, or radiating cancer, you will be working with ionizing particle or electromagnetic radiation. With the help of computer tomography (CT), sectional images of body parts are computer generated based on multiple X-rays. Electromagnetic waves, such as those used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are not ionizing.

It provides detailed sectional images of tissues and organs on the basis of strong magnetic fields. Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to produce images. A positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine procedure that utilizes low-level radioactive substances to produce images of biochemical and physiological functions in the body. With the help of all the techniques you learn about in detail in the degree program, you will contribute to the early diagnosis and treatment of several serious diseases.

Simulation training with real cases

The new sonography simulator helps students of radiology technology to train ultrasound examinations.

The simulation system is based on virtual and real clinical ultrasound data with pathological findings of more than 500 patients.

How you benefit

Radiographers independently perform examinations according to doctor's orders. At the intersection of human, medicine and technology, you will examine and treat patients with the help of radiological diagnostics, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine. On large medical equipment, you are responsible for ensuring examinations are carried out in a timely manner and in good quality and for post-processing the digital data. The large equipment includes computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as positron emission tomography (PET). As a radiation safety expert, you are competent in ensuring the protection of patients and personnel from ionizing radiation. You work in hospitals or X-ray institutes as well as in the medical technology industry. There you train employees in the use of large equipment, advise on the implementation of teleradiology systems and imageless (digital) X-ray systems, and cooperate in the development of medical devices. With this degree you will be qualified to practice the profession of radiographer. The MTD Act is the basis for this degree program.

Equivalence is determined by international agreements, validation or in individual cases a decision by the head of the academic section.

University entrance qualification examination (Studienberechtigungsprüfung)

Information and institutes that offer courses to prepare for the university entrance qualification examination can be found on the portal Erwachsenenbildung.at of the Federal Ministry for Education and Women.

Relevant professional qualification with auxiliary examinations
German (non-native speakers): Minimum level B2

Proof of English proficiency of level B2 must be provided by the beginning of the degree program.
Regulation for the admission of third country citizens
Information for applicants with non-Austrian (school) certificates

After being accepted, you must provide the following proof of your suitability:

Medical certificate of good health
Participation in a first aid course (at least 16 hours, within the last two years)
Current extract of your police record

Application

In the winter semester are 60 and in the summer semester 60 places available in the bachelor's degree program in Radiological Technology each year. The ratio of places to applicants is currently around 1:4.

To apply you will need the following documents:

Birth certificate
Proof of citizenship
School leaving certificate / university entrance qualification examination (Studienberecthigungsprüfung) / verification of professional qualifications
Letter of motivation (in German)
CV in table form (in German)

Please bring the original documents with you to the computer test.

Please note:
It is not possible to save incomplete online applications. You must complete your application in one session. Your application will be valid as soon as you upload all of the required documents and certificates. In the event that some documents (e.g. references) are not available at the time you apply, you may submit these later via email, mail or in person by no later than the start of the degree program.

Admission procedure

The admissions process includes a computer-assisted admissions test and an online interview.

Goal
The goal of the admission procedure is to offer a study place to those persons who complete the multi-stage admission procedure with the best results. The test procedures are based on the skills required for the intended profession.
Procedure
The computer-assisted admissions test and online application interview include a series of test requirements and check to see if you meet basic intellectual and social-emotional performance requirements. It is about figural and computational intelligence, memory and concentration skills, and social skills. Subject-specific knowledge is not part of the testing.
For the computer-based entrance test, you will receive an access link to the test system by e-mail and enter it at home with an individualized password.
Afterwards, those applicants who have reached the required level will receive an email invitation to the online application interview. The online application interview provides a first impression of personal suitability. This includes professional motivation, professional understanding, performance behavior and reflective ability.
Each part of the test is awarded points and is included in the overall ranking.
Criteria
The criteria leading to admission are solely performance-based. Geographic assignments of applicants* have no influence on admission. The admission requirements must be met. The admission committee, which also includes the head of the study program and the faculty representatives, allocates the study places on the basis of the ranking.

Studying with disabilities

If you have any questions regarding accessibility or if you have a specific need in the admission procedure due to an impairment, please contact Ursula Weilenmann for organizational reasons as early as possible at barrierefrei@fh-campuswien.ac.at.

Since we try to take into account individual needs due to disabilities when conducting the written admission test, we ask you to indicate in your online application to Weilenmann in which form you require support.
