MIT217 Introduction to Radiographic Systems

The course introduces students to limited radiography from a practical and technical aspect. Topics covered include the history of X-Ray and the evolution of radiological sciences and technology. The course provides an introduction to differing uses and modalities in radiology equipment; such as radiographic, fluoroscopic, cardiac, nuclear medicine, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), basic video-graphic, simulators, and film processing equipment. The principles of discrete radiation devices and circuits used in radiographic systems and equipment are also introduced. System infrastructure, circuit fundamentals, circuit applications and analysis, basic troubleshooting and malfunction isolation are covered. Radiation safety and federal regulations are continuously reinforced during a combination of lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on labs.
