About this program
A doctor cannot diagnose from a bad image. You learn how to position a patient so the right structures are visible, how to set the machine for the body part and the patient in front of you, and how to produce a clean image the first time so nobody is exposed twice.
Radiation safety runs through the whole program, for the patient and for you. Alongside plain X-ray you are introduced to the other imaging methods used in hospitals today.
What you will learn
- Position patients correctly for different X-ray views
- Set exposure factors for the patient and the body part
- Operate and care for imaging equipment
