Radiation protection for patients and staff has the highest priority.

Medical technologists for radiology (MTR) occupy a key position in diagnostics and therapy.

They carry out radiological examinations and therapies in the following areas:

  • X-ray diagnostics including cross-sectional imaging and sonography
  • Teletherapy and brachytherapy
  • Nuclear Medicine in Diagnostics and Therapy
  • Radiation Physics / Dosimetry and Quality Management

MTRs perform responsible tasks. For example, they carry out imaging examinations using computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) and take X-rays. MTRs are involved in the detection and treatment of diseases in radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and mammography, as well as in quality control and assurance. They carry out the examinations in close contact with the patient, which requires empathy in dealing with patients of all ages, physical fitness and mental resilience. Reliability, care and manual dexterity are prerequisites when using radiation. Radiation protection for patients and staff is the highest priority in the work of MTRs, which is why expertise in radiation protection is an important part of the training. After completing your training, you will be a sought-after specialist for hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers and doctor's offices in the fields of X-ray diagnostics, neuroradiology, cross-sectional imaging, radiotherapy, radiation planning and nuclear medicine, as well as in quality assurance and quality management.

The training concept of the 3 learning locations

We are convinced that professionals who want to work in the healthcare sector must have cross-functional and cross-sector thinking, coupled with a professional attitude. The academy's didactic concept, learning at three learning locations, interprofessional teaching and learning arrangements and interaction with new technologies are the academy's future-oriented paths, together with its practice partners from the healthcare sector.

Learning Place THEORY – Professional skills and competencies build on knowledge

  • Lectures and case-based seminars convey the technical fundamentals and contexts of the respective profession. Interprofessional events broaden your own professional perspective and understanding of other professional groups in the healthcare sector.
  • Independent and individual learning is made possible, among other things, through the use of new media.

Learning location TRAINING & TRANSFER (LTT) – Practice and training in a protected space

  • In the Training & Transfer learning area, participants should train and consolidate skills and abilities in a setting that is as authentic as possible. Unlike in real working life, mistakes do not have any serious consequences, but rather play an important role in the learning process. Learning with and from one another also plays an important role in this area.
  • The teachers take on the role of coaches in this area. The individual prior knowledge and experience of the participants are actively integrated and the content is tailored accordingly. The learning process is supported and accompanied by intensive reflection on learning progress.

Learning Place PRAXIS – Learning under Real Conditions

  • Professional practice completes the training process with specific situations and tasks. Depending on the level of training, there are targeted practical phases in which the participants can test and further develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes they have learned.
  • The training participants are expertly guided and accompanied by staff in the practice facilities and teachers at the academy.
  • Collected experiences and events serve as a starting point for the further professional learning process in the theory and LTT learning areas and are taken up in the courses and appropriately taken into account.
  • The practical learning takes place mainly in clubs and cooperating institutions and includes the areas of X-ray diagnostics, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine

Requirements that must be met:

  • Secondary school leaving certificate or another educational qualification recognized as equivalent
  • good knowledge of scientific subjects
  • health suitability
  • Minimum age: 16 years

Personal strengths that are brought with you:

  • You are interested in scientific contexts.
  • Are you interested in cutting-edge medical technology with its application to humans?
  • They are sensitive and empathetic when dealing with sick people.
  • You want to work independently and have a high sense of responsibility.
  • You enjoy working in a team and are diligent and flexible.

At the Academy of Health, graduates of the MTR training course can acquire additional certificates such as “Injection Course”, “Instruction on the Ulrich Medical High-Pressure Injector” and a “Digital Radiology Workshop” and “Virtual Radiooncology”.

The training contract is concluded with the Academy of Health. During the three-year training, the participants currently receive a training allowance of:

  • in the 1st year of training: 1,190.00 euros (gross)
  • in the 2nd year of training: 1,250.00 euros (gross)
  • in the 3rd year of training: 1,350.00 euros (gross)

The state-recognized training and examination takes place in accordance with the Law on Technical Assistants in Medicine (MTAG) in its currently valid version.

Admission to the state examination is granted if the training has been attended regularly and successfully. The final examination is divided into a written, a practical and an oral part. Passing the state examination is a prerequisite for the granting of a professional license.

After passing the examination, the training participants receive the qualification as “State-recognized Medical Technologist for Radiology”.
