Fundamentals of Radiologic Science
January 5, 2016
This course will teach the student about the physics of radiology. The basic principles of electricity, magnetism and electromagnetic energy will be covered. This knowledge will help to provide an understanding of how a quality diagnostic radiograph is created, while taking into account safe exposure factors for a patient. Students will understand how x-rays are created and how they interact with tissues and matter. A clear understanding of the fundamentals of physics is the starting point for becoming a superior radiologic technologist.
