Specific procedures :

Admission conditions
• The applicant must hold the degree title of Doctor in Medecine or be a Doctor from a member country of the European Union authorising medical practice in Belgium.
• The applicant must be in possession of a document attesting that, at the end of the selection exams, he was retained as a specialist candidate in X-ray diagnoses and medical imagery, in a Belgian Medecine faculty. The juridical context and practical procedures regarding these selection tests can be obtained from the secretary's office. Degree holders from outside the European Union are only allowed to register on the programme in the context of procuring a university certificate for partially specialised training for the duration of two years (if they are in the process of doing a specialisation in their country of origin) or for an in-depth specialised training course for the duration of one year (if they are already recognised as specialists in their own country).

The Royal Decree of 30.05.2002, relating to the planning of the medical offer, published on 14.06.2002, applies to those candidates wishing to obtain the title of Specialist Doctor in X-ray Diagnoses (those candidates are thus counted among the general practitioner candidates or specialists in the context of the numerus clausus).
