According to the regulations on the minimum knowledge volume, competence requirements for learners after graduating from intermediate, college levels in the field of medical imaging equipment technology issued with Circular 54/2018/TT-BLDTBXH, the field of medical imaging equipment technology at the college level is a profession involving the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and management of specialized diagnostic imaging machines, meeting level 5 requirements in the Vietnam National Qualifications Framework.

These are modern devices with high accuracy. They use radiation waves or physical interventions into the patient's body, such as X-Ray machines, ultrasound, CT... or use auxiliary chemicals for image printing, such as film washing machines, film printers. Therefore, there are very stringent safety requirements, necessitating strict and comprehensive adherence to labor protection, industrial hygiene policies, and diligent implementation of electrical safety and radiation safety principles.

Professionals in medical imaging equipment technology have capabilities such as: supervising or directly participating in installing and deploying investment projects for diagnostic imaging equipment provided to healthcare facilities; operating, guiding the use of machines; maintaining, controlling the machine use process according to equipment management procedures; repairing as per trained competencies; conducting research, organizing auxiliary equipment to optimize the room setup; advising on technical solutions, investment in equipment, and enhancing machine longevity.

Additionally, professionals at the college level can assume positions in the maintenance and repair of diagnostic imaging equipment at public or private healthcare facilities; installation, maintenance, and repair of equipment for image equipment manufacturing and trading units.

Furthermore, note that the minimum knowledge volume for a college-level learner in medical imaging equipment technology is 2,500 hours (equivalent to 90 credits).

For more details, refer to Circular 54/2018/TT-BLDTBXH, effective from February 10, 2019.
