This course builds the foundation for modern radiologic practice and outlines responsibilities expected of today's imaging professionals. You will learn exposure techniques, equipment operation, patient positioning, and image evaluation to ensure safe and effective imaging.
ALL TESTS CAN BE TAKEN ONLINE
No matter which type of course you purchase, (complete course, download test, fax or online) you can take your test through our on-line testing site.
If you order any of the "Test Only" options, it DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BOOK.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the key components of diagnostic radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging systems, including X-ray generators, image receptors, and mobile units.
- Discuss the effects of the exposure parameters such as kVp, mAs, source image distance (SID), and object image distance (OID), as well as the functions of automatic exposure control (AEC) and phototiming functions on image quality and patient dose in clinical practice.
- Engage in a reasonable choice of methods, immobilization devices, and equipment settings to maximize the quality of images while minimizing the necessity of repeating exposures.
- Diagnose performance shortcomings in equipment usage, such as underexposure, quantum mottle, and grid cutoff, and correct imaging errors.
- Evaluate the quality assurance and quality control test results to ensure that regulatory quality standards are met, as well as to determine equipment deficiencies and maintain the quality and consistency of imaging.
