Radiologic Science Practice Exam

Course Introduction

Radiologic Science is a comprehensive course that explores the principles and practices of medical imaging, focusing on the use of ionizing radiation and other modalities to diagnose and treat diseases. Students will learn about the physics of radiation, radiographic equipment, patient positioning, image acquisition, and safety procedures to minimize exposure. The curriculum also covers anatomy, pathology recognition, digital imaging techniques, and the ethical and legal considerations in radiologic healthcare. Emphasis is placed on developing both technical competency and critical thinking skills necessary for effective patient care in various clinical settings.
