RADT 1075 Radiographic Imaging (3-2-4)
This course introduces factors that govern and influence the production of the radiographic image using analog and digital radiographic equipment found in diagnostic radiology. It emphasizes the knowledge and techniques required to produce high quality diagnostic radiographic images. Topics include image quality (radiographic density, radiographic contrast, recorded detail, distortion, grids, image receptors, and holders (analog and digital)), processing considerations (analog and digital), image acquisition (analog, digital, and PACS), image analysis, and image artifacts (analog and digital). Guidelines for selecting exposure factors and evaluating images within a digital system will assist students in bridging between film-based and digital imaging systems. The course also covers the factors that impact image acquisition, display, archiving, and retrieval. Laboratory experiences will demonstrate applications of theoretical principles and concepts.
