Course Name : Fundamental Medical imaging

 

 

Code(Credit) : CUTM1763 (3-2-0)

Course Objectives

 

The course should help the students have a basic working knowledge of the main imaging modalities and also help them actually use it in practice. It should help them achieve a level so that they can function as technologists.

Learning Outcomes

 

At the end of this course students will have fair knowledge of Photographic aspects in Radiography

X-ray cassette and Intensifying screens,

The X-ray dark room and the Chemistry of processing of X-Ray film for developing and  for converting the latent image into visible radiograph .
