RADT115 — Radiologic Physics & Equip
This course introduces students to basic knowledge of atomic structure and terminology. Other topics include the nature and characteristics of x-radiation; ionizing and non-ionizing radiation; x-ray production; the properties of x-rays and the fundamentals of x-ray photon interaction with matter. In addition, students will gain knowledge in radiographic, fluoroscopic and mobile equipment requirements and design, Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) devices, beam restriction, filtration, quality control, and quality management principles of analog and digital systems. Laboratory experiences will demonstrate applications of theoretical principles and concepts.
Prerequisites: RADT-111, RADT-112, RADT-113, RADT-115L, RADT-114, RADT-116
