Radiography Physics

Hello and welcome to Radiography Physics! In this course, we are going to walk you through all of the major components of a radiographic x-ray system. We’ll review each step in the image formation process, discuss factors that affect image quality, and give examples of common artifacts.

If you have any questions about the course content, contact me via email at karen@sybildigitallearning.com. I am here to help you!

Enjoy the course and please remember to complete the Course Evaluation when you have finished all of the modules!
