RAD 115 - Principles of Rad. Exposure

Credit(s): 3
Contact Hours: 4

A study of the prime factors in radiographic technique determination, and how these factors relate to radiographic image quality factors. Conversion methods for adjusting radiographic technique to maintain radiographic quality are studied. An overview of the different systems of radiographic techniques is presented, and students learn how to formulate a radiographic technique system. Also studied are radiation protection, mobile radiography, image intensification, tomography, and digital radiography. Prerequisite(s): RAD 100, RAD 110, RAD 113. Concurrent: RAD 130, RAD 213.
