RADT 118S Radiographic Exposure
The course is designed to create a foundation for understanding the principles of radiographic technique and quality. Emphasis is on radiographic- image quality through presentation of prime exposure factors, their interrelationships, solving technical problems, and making adjustments to correct those problems. Basis fundamentals concerned with the production, analysis, and recording of radiographic images are included in this course. Subject matter will include mas, kVp, distance relations, geometric image formation, grids, beam limiting devices, filtration, sensitometry, computers, digital image acquisition and processing, technique systems including automatic exposure control (AEC) and technique charts are also discussed. An introduction of digital technology will be covered. Prerequisites: RADT 112S, RADT 113S. Co-requisite: RADT 119S. Course Rationale: Required of all students enrolled in the Radiologic Technology Program. (2-0-2)
