RADT 102 — Image Production and Evaluation
This course will develop an understanding of the production and processing of medical images. This introductory course examines these essentials: film, video, laser, manual, and automatic processing; intensifying screens; primary exposure factors; and mathematical principles that apply to image quality. These topics include grids, beam-restricting devices, density contrast, detail, geometric and other types of distortion, and ways to reduce dose to the patient. Successful course completion will be determined as a grade of 78% or higher in the didactic component and a grade of “pass” in the clinical component. requisite: RADT 120 Principles of Digital Imaging.
