RDTK 1610 - Radiographic Imaging I

Credits: 3
In this course, students outline the physical theories of X-ray production and the atomic interactions which take place during the radiologic image acquisition process. Students evaluate radiographic images and predict the effects that various technical factors, including equipment, technique factors (i.e. mAs and kVp), accessory devices, and image receptor systems have upon radiographic image qualities and patient dose. This course is offered in the spring semester.

Prerequisite: Completion of RDTK 1503.
