    Description
    Provides a basic understanding of the physics underlying the properties and production of computed radiography imaging. Fundamentals include instrumentation and imaging, planar and volumetric postprocessing, radiation protection principles and standards, data acquisition and archiving. Patient factors related to other elements affecting image quality will be explained, as well as artifact production and reduction and image communication. May be offered in a distance-learning format.
