Course Objectives

Course Objectives

  1. Covers the practical application of radiography in the paramedical profession.
  2. Includes principles of x-ray production, the operation and uses of x-ray machines, the care and development of films, and radiographic positioning of patients.
  3. Prerequisites: Admission to the X-Ray Technology program.
  4. Use an understanding of diagnostic quality images to determine options to correct deficiencies and to maximize diagnostic benefit and minimize radiation exposure based on repeated images.
  5. Apply knowledge of the health risks and effective safety procedures and professional judgment to minimize risks to personnel and patients during radiographic procedures.

 

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course,

  • The student will be able to safely and effectively : Prepare radiographic and darkroom equipment, Choose an appropriate radiographic technique to minimize the need for repeat exposures, Produce the latent image, Process the exposed film, analyze the final radiograph for quality in order to provide maximum diagnostic benefit.
  • The individual will be able to Handle X-ray equipment’s, develop exposed x-ray films, Prepare the room, apparatus, and instruments for conventional radiological procedures like X-ray and Mammography and Set up the machine for the desired procedure
  • Trainee will be able to position the patient correctly for an x-ray in the following positions: Erect, Sitting, supine, prone, lateral, oblique, decubitus
  • Able to explain relative positions of x-ray tube and patient and the relevant exposure factors related to these
  • Explain the use of accessories such as Radiographic cones, grid and positioning aids
  • Setting up the equipment for images & ensuring safety from radiation to patients, self, coworkers
