RA-115

Radiographic Equipment Operation I

Radiographic Equipment I is the first of three courses detailing the design and operation of diagnostic x-ray equipment, radiographic image processing and accessory equipment. The student will acquire knowledge of the physics behind x-ray production, radiographic image production, and manipulation of all exposure parameters to produce x-ray images in digital radiographic and computed radiographic systems. Skills to evaluate the quality of radiographic images and adapt the exposure for patient-specific diagnostic results using the ALARA principle will be developed. The student will establish expertise in radiographic imaging principles by experimentation in the radiography lab. Linked to the current CAMRT competency profile found on www.camrt.ca website.
