Description
Requires acceptance into the Radiologic Technology program
Prerequisites: Grade of 80% or better in HLT 150; Grade of 80% or better in HLT 152; and Grade of 80% or better in HLT 154.
This second semester course of the radiologic technology program presents and expands upon principles of general physics and concepts in technical math. This course presents the foundations of electrical physics and principles related to the radiography field. Topics will include an understanding of physics principles, concepts, and components) required in the electrical production of radiation used in the clinical setting and of the principles used in image capturing techniques. The course also presents basic interactions of radiation with matter. Applied radiographic calculations are also covered.
