COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to evaluate the photographic, geometric and
equipment influences utilized in general radiographic procedures, and their
effect on image acquisition and quality. Both analog and digital acquisition
concepts will be presented and discussed. With the integration of the ionized
labs, students will experiment, simulate and acquire radiographic images
with anthropomorphic phantoms, and assess these images for radiographic
quality based on learned theories and principles.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
This course is designed to provide the student with a thorough
understanding of radiographic exposure techniques, and to correlate this
knowledge with clinical applications. It is the intent of the course and the
instructor to produce a thinking technologist who will be capable of designing
and selecting sound exposure values, utilize proper radiographic equipment
and comprehend and modify for their effect on radiographic quality; evaluate
and critique images for optimal quality, recognize and correct for deficiencies
in quality based on current principles and practices based on scientific &
visual literacy and quantitative reasoning.
At the completion of the course, the student will be able to:
