GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAM

The Department of Medicine of the University of Thessaly announces the start of applications for the Postgraduate Studies Program (MSC) entitled "Physical Principles of Biomedical Imaging and Radiation Protection" for the academic year 2026-2027, which leads to the award of a corresponding Postgraduate Diploma (MPD) and is governed by the Postgraduate Studies Regulation of the University of Thessaly.

The P.M.S. "Physical Principles of Biomedical Imaging and Radiation Protection" has as its mission to cultivate and promote, through academic and applied teaching and research, the high-level training of researchers and health professionals in the basic operating principles of biomedical imaging, biomedical research in image analysis and processing and in providing scientifically proven knowledge about radiation protection, both in the fields of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. It will provide its Graduates with the necessary supplies that will provide them with excellent training for their academic, scientific and research careers in a scientific field with ever-increasing demands.

Purpose:

The student of P.M.S. "Physical Principles of Biomedical Imaging and Radioprotection" you will gain knowledge and understanding of:

the basic operating principles of biomedical imaging from simple x-rays, to fluoroscopy, invasive radiological operations and computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine and molecular imaging applications (scintigraphy, SPECT, PET), but also non-ionizing radiation such as ultrasound , magnetic resonance imaging, laser electron microscopy, etc.
the fundamentals of advanced imaging techniques and state-of-the-art technology.
the use of image analysis tools and imaging biomarker processing with advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques.
the risks from the use of radiation to hospital staff and patients.
the handling of radiation for medical purposes safely for staff and patients and the prevention and management of accidents
the legal framework governing the use of radiation.
quality assurance in radiological procedures (patient - personnel - equipment - space chain) through strict adherence to radiation protection rules.

In addition, the PMS "Physical Principles of Biomedical Imaging and Radiation Protection" is highly research-oriented and facilitates the natural continuation of doctoral studies.

The PMS is addressed to:

Health professionals, qualified doctors, graduates of medicine, nursing as well as other schools of positive direction (physicists, engineers, technologists, graduates of Public Health departments, etc.) of the country and similar recognized institutions abroad (recognition of title by DIKATSA-DOATAP).
Graduates of HEIs and ATEIs of other specialties under conditions of additional criteria and consideration of proven professional and research experience related to the subject of the P.M.S., after a decision of the S.E. and validation by ST

THE duration of time studies is defined in 3 semesters, including the time required for the preparation and submission of a thesis.

1st (Winter) semester: Theoretical training

2nd (Spring) semester: Theoretical training

3rd (Winter) semester: Diploma thesis

The successful completion of the program includes the attendance and examination of the ten (10) compulsory courses, as well as the preparation and presentation of the Diploma Thesis (90 ECTS).

The P.M.S. is designed to be addressed to employees, therefore the courses are held on Friday-Saturday-Sunday, 2 times a month based on the timetable to be announced, and through distance learning, in accordance with legal provisions.

Tuition Fees:

The tuition fees for each postgraduate student are 2,500 euros (1st semester: 1,000 euros, 2nd semester: 1,000 euros and 3rd semester: 500 euros). The number of admitted students is limited to a maximum of forty (40) students.
