XRAY 1042 Radiographic Quality
This course covers concepts involved with digital X-ray equipment operation and quality assurance. It includes image acquisition, digital imaging characteristics, and technical evaluation. Focus is placed on the correlation between X-ray exposure and the effect on image quality. The properties of image receptor exposure, contrast, detail and distortion are analyzed extensively with emphasis on the factors that control and influence them (mAs, SID, OID, kVp). Other topics include: collimation, filtration, and grid usage. Students will gain a better understanding of exposure factor formulation by performing experiments in the energized lab utilizing anthropomorphic phantoms.
