This directory provides a complete overview of all educational modules available to radiologic science students. Each section is organized by topic to help you quickly locate the material you need for coursework, clinical preparation, and registry exam study. Every page includes detailed explanations, examples, and foundational concepts essential for success in both the classroom and clinical environment.
Covers the foundational structure of the human body, including organs, tissues, planes, cavities, and directional terminology. Essential for understanding how imaging relates to physical structures and how pathology alters normal anatomy.
Provides detailed views of anatomical structures in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes. Critical for CT and MRI interpretation, where anatomy is visualized in slices rather than surface projections.
Explains how anatomical structures appear on radiographs, including variations in density, shape, and projection. Helps students identify normal vs abnormal findings and understand how positioning affects appearance.
Breaks down the microscopic and macroscopic structure of bone, including osteons, trabeculae, marrow, and mineral composition. Supports understanding of fractures, bone healing, and skeletal pathology.
Covers x ray production, beam characteristics, attenuation, interactions with matter, and generator function. Forms the scientific basis of all imaging and supports safe, effective technique selection.
Explains exposure factors, image quality, contrast, density, resolution, and distortion. Teaches how technical decisions affect diagnostic value and how to adjust for patient size and condition.
Provides step by step instructions for standard projections, patient alignment, central ray placement, and anatomical landmarks. Essential for producing accurate, repeatable, high quality images.
Teaches evaluation of radiographs for positioning accuracy, exposure quality, collimation, artifacts, and diagnostic acceptability. Helps students identify errors and improve technique.
Covers iodinated and barium contrast, osmolality, viscosity, reactions, contraindications, and safe administration practices. Essential for fluoroscopy, CT, and GI studies.
Explains real time imaging, equipment operation, radiation safety, and common fluoroscopic procedures. Includes dose reduction strategies and procedural workflow.
Covers digital image acquisition, processing, storage, DICOM standards, and workflow systems used in modern radiology departments. Essential for understanding digital image quality and archiving.
Explains the internal components of x ray systems, including transformers, rectifiers, generators, AEC, and circuitry. Helps students understand how equipment produces consistent, safe exposures.
Covers routine testing, calibration, and performance checks that ensure imaging equipment meets safety and diagnostic standards. Includes phantom testing and regulatory requirements.
Explains how ionizing radiation affects cells, tissues, DNA, and biological systems. Includes deterministic and stochastic effects, dose response relationships, and cellular repair mechanisms.
Covers ALARA principles, shielding, time and distance, dose limits, monitoring devices, and regulatory guidelines. Essential for protecting patients, staff, and the public.
Teaches communication, patient assessment, safety, comfort, infection control, and professional interaction. Emphasizes compassion, respect, and patient centered care.
Explains patient privacy laws, protected health information, legal responsibilities, and proper handling of medical records. Critical for maintaining trust and compliance.
Covers autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, informed consent, and ethical decision making in healthcare. Provides a moral framework for clinical practice.
Focuses on professional conduct, accountability, integrity, respect, and workplace responsibilities specific to radiologic technologists. Reinforces standards of professionalism.
Covers medication classifications, drug actions, contrast reactions, emergency drugs, and safe administration principles. Supports safe patient care during imaging procedures.
Explains atomic structure, bonding, solutions, pH, osmolality, and chemical interactions relevant to imaging and contrast media. Builds scientific understanding for advanced topics.
Covers circuits, current, voltage, resistance, transformers, rectifiers, and digital components used in imaging equipment. Helps students understand how machines function internally.
Teaches writing clarity, grammar, structure, tone, and documentation skills essential for clinical notes, patient instructions, and academic assignments.
Covers algebra, ratios, proportions, logarithms, unit conversions, and calculations used in exposure settings, dose measurement, and equipment operation.
