RAD 2110 introduces students to the fundamental principles of radiography positioning. In order to produce high quality radiographs, students must understand the importance of several radiographic principles including: patient position, part position, central ray(CR) direction, source to image distance(SID), object to image distance(OID), image receptor(IR) selection, and collimation.
Students will learn the basic steps of radiography and then apply these to radiography of the upper & lower limb, thoracic viscera and abdomen.
In addition to positioning principles, students will practice critically evaluating radiographs.
RAD 2110 involves a combination of both lectures and practice based learning. Students will practice positioning principles during labs at the QEH. Students will also participate in image analysis sessions weekly.
