RAD 231 Image Production III

Lecture: 1 Lab: 3 Clinic: 0 Credits: 2

This course is designed to continue to develop the concepts and principles in the field of radiologic technology. Emphasis is placed on complex imaging production and principles, quality control and quality assurance in the imaging sciences. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of advanced radiographic equipment and quality control programs.

Pre-requisite(s): RAD 122, RAD 141 and RAD 171.
Course is typically offered in Fall.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At the completion of the course, the students should be able to do the following:

Investigate how general physics principles of electricity, magnetism, electromagnetism, and rectification are applied to radiologic imaging.
Solve word problems about the basic principles of Ohm’s Law in series and parallel circuits.
Solve word problems about the basic principles of transformers.
Compare pre- and post-processing digital image manipulation.
Interpret best practices for quality assurance and quality control as they apply to medical imaging.
