RADT 1380 - Principles of Radiation Physics
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisites: Formal acceptance into the Radiologic Technology Program
Industry Certifications The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Certification and Registration
Course Description: This course is an in-depth study of concepts of radiation physics. Emphasis will be placed on the x-ray tube, circuitry, production and emission, as well as photon interaction with matter.
Student Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:
- Relate atomic structure to ionization, x-ray production, and photon interaction with matter.
- Identify the parts of an x-ray tube and describe the structure and function of important elements of the tube.
- Explain photon production, the types of radiation, the contribution of each to diagnostic imaging, and the factors that influence the x-ray photon emission spectrum.
