Division of Radiography

A radiographer is tasked with conducting diagnostic imaging procedures on patients, both in hospitals and private radiology units.

To become a radiographer at KI, one must complete a three-year Bachelor of Science degree. The education covers various subjects including anatomy and physiology, radiation physics, image diagnostics, patient care and communication, as well as pedagogic, healthcare ethics and law. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to gain practical experience through clinical placements in different radiology units.

Effective communication skills are essential in radiography, as radiographers interact with patients from diverse backgrounds and should be able to explain procedures and provide reassurance to anxious patients. Moreover, radiographers must possess a sharp attention to detail, as they are responsible for producing high-quality diagnostic images that aid radiologists in making accurate diagnoses or treatment.
