Credit(s) 2.00
Lecture Hours: 2.00
This is the first of a two-course sequence. It is designed to emphasize 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 films.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of C in RAD 162, RAD 183, and RAD 240.
SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

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