Description

This course creates a foundation for understanding the principles of radiographic technique and quality. Included is a description of the basic physical principles of measurement, energy, atomic structure, electricity, magnetism, and their application to radiation production. The course also offers an overview of how the X-ray machine produces x-radiation. Emphasis is on radiographic image quality through presentation of prime exposure factors, solving technical problems, and making adjustments to correct those problems.
