RAD2303 — Radiation Physics
3 Credits This course focuses on fundamental physics for radiologic technology including electromagnetic induction, fundamentals of x-ray generating equipment, x-ray production, and beam characteristics. (PLO 5, 10 ) Discuss the basic structure of matter. (PLO 10) Compare the different types, ranges, and capacities of x-ray equipment. (PLO 11) Identify the different target interactions that happen at the anode. (PLO 10, 11) Create and label all parts of the x-ray tube as well as the x-ray circuit. (PLO 11) Calculate the effect of changes in voltage, amperage, and resistance in Ohms law. (PLO 11)
