Course details

Radiography uses ionizing radiation to produce an image of the body. This requires knowledge of how radiation is produced and how it interacts with human tissue. This course combines radiation physics and radiation biology to provide an overview of the principles of the production of radiation and its affect on the human body. Special detail is given to the safe administration and dose of radiation to patient and practitioner.
