MEETING DESCRIPTION:
In recent years computers have infiltrated the way radiology images
are acquired, processed, displayed
and stored. CR and DR systems are rapidly replacing conventional film-based radiography systems and technologists need to fully understand the way these systems operate. Issues such “dose-creep”, multiple-fields exposure, grid utilization and artifact remediation need to be understood. The most common issues faced by the technologist in his/her daily interaction with digital radiography systems will be addressed. Errors and systems malfunctions and their impact on image quality or patient safety will be explained. This course will provide technologists with the image analysis tools they will need to make a correct assessment of digital images and how to best optimize their quality while keeping patient dose low. The course will also review Quality Assurance procedures for CR and DR systems.

This course provides 21 Hours Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists. A certificate of attendance will be provided for each individual upon completion of the course. All attendees must attend the entire course to receive full credit. Credit is awarded for radiologic technologists as ARRT Category A Credit approved by the ASRT, and credit from various licensure states.
