RADS2460 — Imaging Science 4
Academic Division: Health Sciences Academic Discipline: Radiological Sciences Assistant Dean: Leesa Cox, MBA, PTA 3 Credit(s) This course is designed to establish a knowledge base of radiographic and fluoroscopic equipment design. The nature and characteristics of radiation, x-ray production, and photon interaction with matter are also included. Image analysis is included with the importance of optimal imaging standards. 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.The lab setting will permit application of these skills.
