DESCRIPTION:
This introductory level course emphasizes the application of physical phenomena in medical radiography. Topics include structure of matter, electromagnetic radiation, electrostatics, direct and alternating current circuits, and production of x-rays. The physics of x-ray tubes, including heat dissipation, will also be discussed. Students relate the production of radiation and radiation exposure factors/settings to a resultant radiographic image.
