RADI 131 - Principles of Radiologic Imaging 1 3 CR
In this course, students will move beyond the physics of how the x-ray beam is created and will explore proper radiation protection concepts, factors affecting image creation, as well as digital radiography image processing, detector systems, and technical considerations. Students will also participate in energized exposure lab activities.
Additional Information: Formal admission to the Radiography Program required.
Requisites: Take RADI 121 , RADI 123 , RADI 124 , and RADI 125 with at least a grade of C.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Identify the components of diagnostic x-ray tubes.
- Analyze the production of x-rays.
- Explain filtration.
- Classify the prime factors.
- Explain how human limitations of vision and perception impact the diagnostic image.
- Relate changes in beam restriction to image quality and patient dose.
- Explain the concept of the patient as the beam emitter.
- Analyze how pathology can create challenges to quality imaging.
- Relate grid use to image quality.
- Analyze digital radiography.
- Evaluate digital imaging processing.
- Discuss digital image management.
