This course is designed as a follow-up to radiologic physics and investigates the imaging technologies of fluoroscopy and image intensification, flat-panel digital technology, image display systems, film/screen imaging, computed (CR), direct radiography (DR) and computer applications in medical imaging. A particular emphasis will be placed on the use of computers in medical image formation and management (PACS). Additionally, specialized radiology equipment will be discussed including tomography, and mobile and portable units. The role of the radiographer in quality control management will be a consistent theme in this course.
