Course Objectives:
The objectives of this subject are:
- Covers the practical application of radiography in the paramedical profession.
- Includes principles of x-ray production, the operation and uses of x-ray machines, the care and development of films, and radiographic positioning of patients.
- Prerequisites: Admission to the X-Ray Technology program.
- Use an understanding of diagnostic quality images to determine options to correct deficiencies and to maximize diagnostic benefit and minimize radiation exposure based on repeated images.
- Apply knowledge of the health risks and effective safety procedures and professional judgment to minimize risks to personnel and patients during radiographic procedures.
After completing this program-
- The individual will be able to set up the X-ray, CT and MRI equipment’s to be used, ensure that safety precautions are taken to protect self, patient and staff from exposure to radiation
- Trainee will be expertise in preparing and positioning the patient correctly for different radiological procedures
- Able to prepare the room, apparatus and instruments for x-ray, CT scan, MRI
- Explain use of contrast material used for CT scan or MRI and how to administer them under supervision of the radiologist.
- Trainee will be able to manage a patient with contrast reactions and explain the use of protective materials
- Can assist in the department of Radio-diagnosis
- Can further pursue Diploma/ Degree courses in the same
Learning Record:
The trainee will submit a Practice/Project/Learning record after each class/session.
Assessment Process:
- The assessment of the theory/knowledge will be based on a written test/viva-voce or both, while the skill test shall be hands-on practical.
