A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Principles of radiographic image formation

The principles of radiographic image formation explain how X-rays are produced, how they pass through the patient, and how differences in absorption create a visible image on the receptor. For examinations, you must master the chain from beam generation to image appearance, because image quality and diagnosis depend on attenuation, exposure, geometric factors, and receptor response.
