RADT 1075 Radiographic Imaging
The content of this course introduces factors that govern and influence the production of the radiographic image using analog and digital radiographic equipment found in diagnostic radiology. Emphasis will be placed on knowledge and techniques required to produce high quality diagnostic radiographic images. Topics include: Image quality (radiographic density; radiographic con-trast; recorded detail; distortion; grids; image receptors and holders (analog and digital); processing considera-tions (analog and digital); image acquisition (analog, digital, and PACS); image analysis; image artifacts (ana-log and digital); Guidelines for selecting exposure factors and evaluating images within a digital system will assist students to bridge between film-based and digital imag-ing systems. Factors that impact image acquisition, dis-play, archiving and retrieval are discussed. Laboratory experiences will demonstrate applications of theoretical principles and concepts.
