Credit(s) 2.00
Lecture Hours: 2.00
This course is the second of a two course sequence that encompasses RAD 761 Film Evaluation and RAD 790 Film Evaluation II. This second course emphasizes the principles of film evaluation as it relates to techniques, collimation, shielding, positioning and radiographic quality. ‘Radiograph rejects’ are studied in detail. Procedures to improve their diagnostic quality are emphasized, including the use of existing diagnostic exams to demonstrate desirable radiographic images.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of C in RAD 183, RAD 240, and RAD 760.
SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Develop knowledge to recognize the difference between diagnostic quality radiographs and poor radiographs.
Proficiently prescribe corrective methods for radiographic quality improvement.
Proficiently evaluate all common positioning, with an emphasis on radiograph quality.
