RDTK 1610 - RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING I

Institution:

Casper College

Subject:

Radiologic Technology

Description:

RDTK 1610 Radiographic Imaging I (5L,5CR) In this course, students outline the theories of radiation physics including bremsstrahlung, photoelectric effect, and Compton interactions. This includes X-ray production and the atomic theory taking place during X-ray photon creation, and during patient exposure. Students will gain an understanding of the requirements needed to create the optimal diagnostic image while minimizing radiation dose. Students will evaluate radiographic images and predict the effects that various technical factors, generator phase, mAs, kVp, accessory devices, and image receptor systems, have upon radiographic image qualities and radiation dose. Prerequisite: MATH 1400.
