Radiographic Physics

Catalog description

Basic knowledge of atomic structure, characteristics of radiation, x-ray production, photon interactions, circuitry, imaging equipment and quality control. This course is a requirement of the radiography curriculum and could be utilized as an option for other students interested in radiation interactions and imaging equipment such as health science, biomedical engineering, health physics or physics majors. As is consistent with the core courses in the radiography program, a passing grade for enrolled radiography students is 75%.
