MEDL-1065Imaging Science Lab
In this foundational lab course, students will learn the theoretical principles of X-ray production, scatter, and image formation, while developing hands-on skills for operating X-ray equipment safely and effectively. They will learn how distance impacts dose, foundational concepts in technical factors, how X-ray grids work, when to use them, and how errors can affect image quality. Students will complete essential quality control (QC) tests and explore how settings influence diagnostic images. They also examine the purpose of Automatic Exposure Controls (AEC) and how changing parameters impact AEC performance. Hands-on and practical lab exercises will help students build confidence in producing consistent, high-quality radiographic images.
