RADI 237 - Principles of Radiologic Imaging 2 3 CR
In this course, students will focus on image quality through an in-depth study of influencing factors. A diagnostic problem-solving approach to image analysis will be presented with emphasis on forming accurate and predictable corrective action plans. Students will also advance their knowledge of fluoroscopic and mobile imaging.
Requisites: RADI 224 with a grade of C or better.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Identify and explain technical considerations in digital imaging.
- Discuss the role of informatics in medical imaging.
- Describe the imaging process in radiography.
- Discuss image receptor exposure and analyze the factors affecting image receptor exposure.
- Differentiate between image and subject contrast. Discuss the factors controlling contrast.
- Describe the factors affecting spatial resolution in digital imaging.
- Evaluate distortion on the digital image and the effects of distance, central ray, anatomic part, and image receptor alignment.
- Apply an effective image critique method to a wide range of problems specific to clinical situations.
- Distinguish the factors involved in quality management, and discuss the elements involved in a quality management program.
- Describe the challenges and considerations involved with mobile radiography. Describe image acquisition in fluoroscopic imaging and the various considerations in fixed and mobile fluoroscopy.
