Digital Radiology
The Fraunhofer Development Center for X-ray Technology EZRT offers vocational training in digital radiology at its Fürth location. The course program has been carefully designed to combine world-class research and development expertise in industrial x-ray systems with the full range of innovative services that are available for quality assurance and process optimization.
The content of the two-stage training program is geared to people employed in filmless radiology who have a vocational qualification in a technical profession or several years of professional experience in the technical sector. It primarily focuses on metallic materials.
