Radiological Imaging Technology Department Students Visited the Swedish Hospital
Due to its commitment to enhancing practical education and linking theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, the Department of Radiological Imaging Technology at Cihan University-Erbil organized a scientific visit to the Swedish Hospital in Erbil for its second-year students. The visit, held on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, was supervised by Assistant Lecturer Abdul Aleem and Lab Assistant Barzin Kamal. This initiative aligns with the university’s strategy to prepare qualified medical professionals equipped with advanced technical skills that meet the job market demands.
The students were welcomed by Mr. Aram Jamal Aziz, a Radiology Technician, who provided a detailed explanation of the latest radiological imaging technologies used for diagnosing diseases. The visit included an introduction to advanced equipment such as X-ray machines, which are used for imaging bones and detecting fractures; Computed Tomography (CT-Scan), which provides three-dimensional images for diagnosing internal injuries; Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which relies on magnetic fields to examine soft tissues and internal organs; and Ultrasound which is used for pregnancy examinations and diagnosing heart and abdominal conditions.
The visit witnessed significant engagement from the students, who showed great interest in the modern equipment and technologies used at the hospital. They asked numerous questions about how different devices operate and the best practices for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, they had the opportunity to engage in some practical applications under the supervision of specialists, which helped strengthen their practical understanding of theoretical concepts. Many expressed their appreciation for this educational opportunity, which allowed them to connect academic knowledge with real clinical practice.
This visit reflects Cihan University–Erbil’s commitment to providing a comprehensive learning experience based on hands-on training. The university believes that offering direct training opportunities to its students enhances their ability to tackle real-world professional challenges and prepares them to become active contributors to the healthcare sector in the future.
