Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should, independently and under supervision, be able to carry out commonly
occurring magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations and administrate drugs/contrast agents in a safe way
for the patient, which includes:

Being able to apply research methodology, demonstrate skills and explain how image formation takes
place to ensure diagnosis in common magnetic resonance imaging examinations

Being able to describe underlying topographic anatomy and pathology for commonly occurring magnetic
resonance imaging examinations

Being able to apply interview, observation and communication methodology to assess, plan, carry out,
evaluate and document nursing for individuals with disease and their loved ones in connection with
magnetic resonance imaging examinations

Being able to describe and discuss current drugs and the field of use of contrast agents, adverse drug
reactions, risks and contraindications for MRI

Being able to discuss and apply safety measures and observe patient safety and security in connection
with MRI examinations

Being able to show a professional attitude and evaluate his/her ability to carry out magnetic resonance
imaging examinations and identify personal areas of improvement

Being able to describe the different tasks during MRI examinations and interact with the participating
staff


Course delivery
The course offers the student introductory and inspiring lectures in the different section in order to reach the
course's objectives. The lectures take place on campus, via the distance-bridging technology Adobe Connect and
via recorded lectures. The student acquires knowledge concerning real examples via the placement. Assessment
of placement takes place in the two-party conversation between the student and supervisor. The course contains
individual written examination, seminar with advanced assignments and workshops.
Examination
The student's placement is examined and assessed by the student demonstrating skills and knowledge during the
placement with an implemented exam-patient and via the assessment form. The placement assessment takes
place in a two-party conversation between student and supervisor. The theoretical part is examined through
individual written examination, workshop with patient case, and a seminar with different advanced assignments
where the student must connect practical knowledge with the theoretical with reference to literature, statutes and
laws. These sections are compulsory. Alternative examination formats may be used.
Only one re-examination/transfer is given for the course in relation to the placement. If there are special
circumstances, additional retakes/transfers can be granted. Special circumstances are those stated in
Regulations of the National Agency for Higher Education HSVFS 1999:1.
