This course is designed to provide the student with entry level knowledge needed to formulate the applicable factors that influence the production of radiographic images. Discussions throughout the course will include the basics of the image acquisition process, computer processing and the display of the image. Quality management techniques and programs will also be discussed throughout. Students will learn to identify and apply the appropriate factors that will result in an optimum diagnostic image with the minimum radiation exposure to the patient. Demonstrations and student experimentation will be included in the application of the theory assisting the student in being able to associate the impact of the image processing parameters to the appearance of the radiographic image. This course is subject to a course fee.
