This course introduces students to image analysis concepts. Students evaluate images according to positioning criteria, exposure technique selection and anatomical structures demonstrated for radiographic projections. Images are reviewed for equipment operation errors and presented artifacts obscuring pertinent anatomy. Students identify images requiring repeat exposures and explain corrective action necessary to produce diagnostic radiographs. Students self-evaluate images performed in the clinical practicum applying image analysis techniques. Lecture Hours: 26.
