3 Credit(s)
This course is a continuation of RAD 105 - Radiography I. Beam filtration and beamlimiting devices such as collimators will be described. Grids, manual settings vs. AEC, H & D Curves, and technique charts will be explained. The fundamentals of radiologic science will be discussed in this course, along with the structure of matter and atoms, and electromagnetic energy and electromagnetism. X-ray production, the interactions of photons with matter, and the basics of the x-ray tube will be taught.
