Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Identify and describe the basic fundamentals of x-ray production, analyze and perform calculations of exposure techniques, image magnification, percent magnification, penumbra, beam restriction, and half-value layer (HVL) formulas.
- Describe the possible fates of x-ray photons interacting with matter and how various beam limitations and grids can control scatter.
- Identify and describe the anatomical and pathological factors that affect the radiographic image.
