RADT 1075 - Radiographic Imaging

Prerequisite: Program Admission
The content of this course introduces knowledge of the factors that govern and influence the production of radiographic image using analog and digital radiographic equipment found in diagnostic radiology. Emphasis will be placed on knowledge and techniques required to produce high-quality radiographic images. Topics include: Image quality (radiographic IR exposure; radiographic contrast; spatial resolution; distortion; grids, image receptors and holders; processing considerations; image acquisition; image analysis, image artifacts); and guidelines for selecting exposure factors and evaluating images with a digital system. Laboratory experiences will demonstrate applications of theoretical principles and concepts. Contact hours: Class - 3, Lab - 2. Credit hours: 4 (Sp)
