RADS1260 — Imaging Science 2
Academic Division: Health Sciences Academic Discipline: Radiological Sciences Assistant Dean: Leesa Cox, MBA, PTA 3 Credit(s) This course is designed to establish a foundation in the principles that govern the image production process. Content establishes a knowledge base of factors that control and influence the production and recording of radiographic images. Electronic and film imaging with associated accessories are included. Image analysis is included with the importance of optimal imaging standards. The lab setting will permit application of these skills. Courses are taught in a hybrid format. The lecture and seminar portion are virtually using Canvas and Zoom technologies. The lab portions are taught on campus with face-to-face instruction and hands on practice.Semesters Available: Day - F UG 2 Lecture Hour(s); Required Compare and contrast the factors that govern theimage production process with film, computed and digital modalities.
