The principles of radiographic calibration and implementing a calibration program are also covered. Mathematics A general background in mathematics, particularly its importance to radiographic exposure, is reviewed so the student can perform technique and physics problems in the clinical environment. Film Critique Students, through observing each other's work, learn to evaluate good and poor radiographic examinations. Class discussion and review of radiographic principles are encouraged. This course provides information about the regional anatomy of the human body.
Students learn to locate each organ by using surface landmarks.
This overview of diseases and injuries helps students serve patients in the Radiology Department. Understanding the patient's physical and mental health helps students perform positioning procedures to secure the best diagnostic radiograph possible. This course reviews information about the various types of contrast media, their preparation, contraindications, and methods of administration. The use of appropriate contrast media for visualizing particular organs or systems is studied. This course covers information about the effects of ionizing radiation on biological tissue, the interaction of radiation and matter on various body systems, and total body response.
