The classical and quantum applications of X-ray imaging methods
FIKSLOVÁ, Anežka
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is responding to the finding that there is no simple educational text which is dealing with the topic of X-ray imaging methods that is unifying applications of classical and quantum physic and X-ray theory structure currently. The purpose of this bachelor's thesis is to create a theoretical base that is summarizing knowledge of classical and quantum physic applications of X-ray imaging methods based on the application of the theory of curricular process. There are no studying materials in the Czech Republic suitable for radiological assistants which are unifying substantial basics of classical and quantum physic with basics of imaging in the radiodiagnostics. There were set following goals on the basis of the analysis of the current situation: G1 To describe applications of classical and quantum X-ray imaging methods and assess whether there is some preference for classical aspects of those imaging methods. G2 To assemble an educational text and test. There should be put emphasis on the application of classical X-ray imaging methods. The results of the test are going to be statistically processed and the knowledge of the students is going to be judged. Based on the goals, three following explanatory hypotheses were made: H1 The application of classical X-ray imaging methods can be described by comparison of the structure of the barking X-ray radiation and the structure of the classical physic. H2 The application of quantum X-ray imaging methods can be described by comparison of the structure of quantum physic and the structure of characteristic X-ray radiation. H3 The knowledge of respondents is going to follow a curve of a normal distribution. As the main theory was chosen the theory of curricular process which should ensure transmission of knowledge from the scientific system to the educational system. By the description of X-ray imaging methods from the perspective of its own classical and quantum basis was filled the first goal. On the basis of comparative analysis were accepted the first and the second theses. By application theory of curricular process was created educational text of some selected knowledge about X-ray radiation. On the basis of this text, the test for respondents was made. By using descriptive and mathematical statistics was made statistical research and its results are mentioned in the application part. That can be considered as filling the second goal of this thesis. On the basis of nonparametric testing was found that the knowledge of respondents is following Gaussian distribution. That is why the suitability of the educational text was confirmed and the third thesis was filled. The results of this thesis show that this educational text can be used for the education of radiological assistants students.

Physics problems for radiology assistants
KOVÁŘ, Jan
The thesis was examining an opportunity to apply the curriculum process theorem in the matter of general and radiology physics and their problems' expression. The first objective is to create an educational text which would elucidate an indispensable theory for radiology assistant. The educational text is to involve problem expressions of needful physical fields. The second objective was to implement the curriculum process as a quiz and so to evaluate the familiarity among the professionals in the field. Furthermore, three hypotheses were formed. The first hypothesis presumed it is possible by applying the curriculum process to delimit the collection of physics problems that will be tailored to the needs and facilities of radiology assistants. The second hypothesis was divided into two subparts: A) By comparison of a physics structure and compounds of a radiology assistant profile it is possible to process a collection of problems dedicated to general physics. B) By comparison of a physics structure and compounds of a radiology assistant profile it is possible to process the collection of problems dedicated to radiology physics. The third formed hypothesis presumed the familiarity among responders regarding the field will resemble of normal distribution. By comparing the conceptual curriculum of physics and radiology, an educational text was created, which contained exemplary statements of general and radiological physics in relation to the components of the profile of the radiological assistant. By creating the text and defining example statements, the first goal of the work was fulfilled, and the first two hypotheses were accepted. Another application of the curricular process was to compile a test, the questions of which were based on the content of the educational text. Descriptive and mathematical statistics were used to appraise the research observing the test results. The outcome of the research acknowledged the third hypothesis. The second objective was reached by the test implementation. As a certain standardisation the second, previously used test was handed to the responders concomitantly to the first test. Via a parametric test the link between both tests results was confirmed. Following correlation analysis established the strong positive correlation. The results of the bachelor's thesis show that the created educational text together with a set of example statements can be effectively used to prepare students for the profession of radiological assistant.

BOČAN, David
The diploma thesis deals with the identification of risks which threaten students in the fields of Radiology Assistant, General Nurse and Paramedic. The aim of the thesis is to map the knowledge of risks during providing health care in students of selected fields at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia. Four hypotheses were set in the thesis. Hypothesis no. 1 saying that there are statistically significant differences in risk knowledge between students of the first and last year of individual fields of health care. Hypothesis no. 2 that there are statistically significant differences in stress perception as a risk-enhancing factor between paramedics and general nurses. Hypothesis no. 3 states that there is a statistically significant difference in the knowledge of the risk of ionizing radiation between radiological assistants and general nurses and hypothesis no. 4 that paramedics will call their future occupation more risky than general nurses. To achieve the objectives and verify the hypotheses, a questionnaire was prepared, a questionnaire survey was conducted and everything was evaluated using graphic and statistical methods. The questionnaire contained 23 questions and the research sample consisted of 105 respondents from the studied fields. The results show that hypothesis no. 1 was confirmed in the fields of Radiology Assistant and Paramedic and rejected by the General Nurse. Hypothesis no. 2 was also confirmed. Hypothesis no. 3 was rejected and hypothesis no. 4 was also rejected. The contribution of the thesis is a complex picture of the knowledge of risks during providing health care in the studied fields. The results can serve the faculty to further more effective teaching.

The classic and quantum dimension of X-ray diagnostics for radiology assistants
BEJTIC, Martin
These days there is no educational text for the issue freely available that would be adequate for the students of the course Radiology assistant and for related fields. The work set the following aims: 1. To choose a theory of transmission of the knowledge to the level of the fields mentioned. 2. To create an educational text so that the theory would be respected. 3. To verify the educational text experimentally from the point of view of the students'possibilities. 4. To apply selected statistical methods. Based on the present analysis of the issue and set aims the following hypotheses were formulated: 1. The educational text for radiology assistants can be created through the application of curricular process. 2. The knowledge of the students acquiered through the developed educational system will be divided in a similar way as it is divided normally. The aims mentioned above were accomplished thanks to use of all the aspects of the curricular process. Based on this process it was first necessary to analyse the current scientific system of classical and quantum physics. Adjusted physical knowledge were written up into an adequate educational text for radiology assistants. The hypothesis that an educational text for radiology assistants can be created through the application of the curricural process was verified. The text was provided electronically to the students of South Bohemian University and to radiology assistants. A test of 15 questions was created to verify the knowledge acquired by students. The educational test was also provided electronically. The results were then processed statistically. It was made use of methods of descriptive statistics, but also of nonparametrical testing of hypotheses. It was found out that the knowledge of the students can be described with Gaussian division based on the nonparametrical testing. Thanks to this the adequacy of the text and the second hypothesis that the knowledge of the students acquired through the developed educational system would be divided in a similar way as it is divided normally were verified.

The comparism of dose aquivalents interventional radiology and cardiology
GOMOLOVÁ, Iveta
The main topics of this work are personal doses of ionizing radiation and their comparison with workers in the interventional radiology and interventional cardiology. National Radiation Protection draws attention to the fact that doses of interventional cardiologists are higher than doses of interventional radiologists. In the framework of this bachelor thesis it was examined whether this hypothesis is true for the assisting mid staff, range of the doses and what to do to reduce them. The doses for radiology assistant and nurses assisting with the operations in interventional cardiology and nurses assisting with performances in interventional radiology were compared over a period of seven years for these purposes. These data are processed by methods of descriptive statistics and recorded in graphic form. The theoretical part of the thesis mentions properties of ionizing radiation. It explains the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter and cells and its effects on human health. Finally, the issue of radiation hygiene in terms of occupational exposure and the legislation that governs records of dosage parameters throughout the European Union is outlined it the thesis as well. The practical part deals with personal dose equivalents of individual employees of interventional cardiology and interventional radiology obtained from the Prague Institute of National Service of Personal Dosimetry, which evaluates these doses. Given the results, both hypotheses can be considered as confirmed. This confirmation is caused by lower number of employees and lower number of IC workplaces that focus on larger numbers of patients. This implies that the reduction of occupational exposure is achieved with a sufficient number of qualified personnel to enable more frequent substitution, proactive approach in compliance with radiation hygiene and very good cooperation of the entire team. The work's benefits can be seen especially in the ODE quantification differences within IC and IR and in defining the possibility of reducing the radiation load.

Magnetic Resonance and its Electromagnetic Essence
MOLÁKOVÁ, Markéta
This fact is reflected in the aims of the thesis, which lie in using the Curricular Process Theory and the already researched quantum dimension of magnetic resonance for defining the electromagnetic foundation of magnetic resonance in such a form that would be suitable for students of "Radiology assistant" and other related programs. Considering the set aims and the use of applied quantitative research, the thesis presents the following hypotheses: 1) It is possible to create an educational text for students of "Radiology assistant" and related study programs by applying the Curricular Process Theory. 2) The distribution of respondents' knowledge will have a theoretical distribution similar to the normal distribution. First, it was necessary to analyse the current state of research on the subject of "Electromagnetic foundation of magnetic resonance for radiology assistants" based on the Curricular Process Theory. The present study examines the Electromagnetic Field Theory, especially the description and deduction of Maxwell's four equations for electromagnetic field, defines mathematical operators needed for describing Maxwell's equations, describes the causes of changes in electric and magnetic fields (wells and vortices), and also mathematically proves that the electromagnetic field spreads in the air a s a wave. Then, it was needed to adjust the form of these physical facts to students of "Radiology assistant" and other related study programs. It resulted in creating a simple educational text (see Appendix 1), whose suitability for the educational target group was verified by a statistical evaluation. Consequently, the first hypothesis that it is possible to create an educational text for students of "Radiology assistant" and related study programs by applying the Curricular Process Theory was confirmed. The functionality of the educational text was verified by an experimental seminar. The seminar was organised for the students of "Radiology assistant" study program at The Faculty of Health and Social Sciences at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice and it was accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. The students who did not participate in the seminar were sent the educational text (and test) in the electronic form. In order to verify the knowledge gained during the experimental seminar and from the educational text, the defined electromagnetic foundation (educational text) was reflected in a test with 13 questions with four alternative options for each there was only one correct option for each question. The test was taken by respondents and the results were statistically evaluated. The type of research used in the thesis is applied quantitative research. The verification of the hypotheses was based on the use of appropriate methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics as well as the use of non-parametric testing, the so called Pearson Chi-Square test (Goodness of Fit). On the whole, 35 tests were processed. Empirical frequency distributions obtained by scoring the tests were matched with the so called Gaussian distribution. Thanks to the use of non-parametric testing, it was possible to confirm the second hypothesis that the distribution of respondents' knowledge will have a theoretical distribution similar to the normal distribution. Therefore, the statistical evaluation confirmed that the educational text is suitable for the needs and possibilities of the respondents and their knowledge distribution is close to the normal distribution. The acquired results show that the knowledge of the respondents was in agreement with the expected assumption of the normal distribution.
