Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course provides a comprehensive study of the applications of digital imaging systems, including purpose, design, image acquisition, processing, display, archival, and retrieval. Through a process of discussion, demonstration, return demonstration, group sharing and evaluation, students apply radiation theories to the production of quality digital images. Exposure latitude is coupled with patient dose applications through the use of digital imaging equipment in the on-campus live radiography laboratory. The use and misuse of radiographic grids is evaluated, along with the performance and analysis of quality control tests. Beam restriction, centering sensitivity, acquisition errors, and post-processing capabilities of digital imaging are also explored. Image evaluation and critiques aid students in developing the required skills and critical thinking when utilizing digital imaging systems.Usually HeldTue 12:00pm–2:50pm, Tue 8:00am–10:50am
