Radiographic Equipment Operation II

Radiographic Equipment II is the second 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 science behind x-ray energy absorption, manipulation of exposure factors and equipment to deal with the consequences of energy absorption on image quality and patient dose. Fluoroscopic x-ray equipment function and mobile radiographic equipment function will also be examined. This knowledge will support the principles of radiation protection discussed in Radiation Safety. The student will establish expertise in radiographic imaging principles by experimentation in the radiography lab. Linked to current CAMRT competency profile found on www.camrt.ca website.
