MIS110 Radiographic Fundamentals (8)
Abstract| This subject introduces fundamental principles of x-ray image production. A radiographic image may only take 1/100 of a second to produce. You will gain an understanding of that period as well as the important 45 or 90 seconds later when the potential image is converted to an image that can be viewed, and hopefully, assist in providing a diagnosis for the patient. Those few seconds are what will be covered in the 13 week session |
