ROLIOLOGY AND MEDICAL IMAGING

1. OBJECTIVE OF THE TRAINING
 
Faced with the complexity of radiotherapy techniques (IT, quality assurance, etc.), on the one hand, and the requirements in terms of radiation protection and health safety (determination of effective doses in radiology for example), on the other hand, appears necessary to set up a university level training (bac +3), meeting the current needs of hospitals for qualified professionals. It is also wise to take into account on the one hand the phenomenon of staff turnover due to retirements and on the other hand to provide technical managers with the possibility of continuing studies in a rapidly expanding field. This is the objective of the BTS specializing in Radiology and Medical Imaging.
