It establishes the knowledge base required of radiographers in fluoroscopic equipment, design and operation in both conventional and digital systems. There will be study of local, state and federal regulatory principles and documents as they relate to radiation. A review of radiobiology is included, as applied to fluoroscopic exams and implications therein, with emphasis on public and occupational dose monitoring and limits and the effects of radiation on the human body. ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) is reinforced through the study of image quality versus dose. Class demonstrations and laboratory experiments complement the didactic portion of the course and provide opportunity for application and reinforcement of theories.Usually HeldThu 8:00am–12:30pm
