Medical Imaging Basics (RAD, RF, CT, CV), Plain & Simple

Medical Imaging Basics (RAD, RF, CT, CV), Plain & Simple

Medical imaging systems form an important foundation for diagnosing and treating illnesses in the healthcare environment.   The base technology behind healthcare imaging systems based on xrays, such as Radiography, Fluoroscopy, CardioVascular and Computed Tomography (CT) is the same as it was when Roentgen discovered xrays many years ago. 

In this course you will learn the fundamentals of xray production.  You will get to see an actual xray tube and examine its various parts.  You will also learn about the dangers of xrays and how to protect ourselves when around radiation sources.  You will see the many different systems that use xrays and how their clinical applications.

These systems produce a huge volume of images which need to be transmitted, archived and viewed on our Healthcare Information systems.  You will learn about the impact of that on our healthcare networks and systems.

The topics covered in this "Medical Imaging" course are:

XRAY Imaging Technology

   •  Physics of Xrays

   •  Radiation Protection

Radiography & Fluoroscopy Systems

   •  Screen Film Systems

   •  Computed Radiography (CR) & Digital Radiography (DR)

   •  Surgical "C" Arms

Image Processing

   •  Digitizing the Image

   •  Image Rresolution, Compression and Filtering

Cardio Vascular Systems

   •  Mono and Bi-Plane Systems

   •  CV Applications

CT Systems

   •  CT Technology

  •   3D Imaging

Whether you are new to the healthcare profession or looking to advance your career in healthcare or are an established healthcare professional eager to learn more about the potential of medical imaging, this course is perfect for you. The course is targeted for those unfamiliar with technical jargon but still wanting to learn about this technology and its application to healthcare organizations.

My approach to teaching is a very pragmatic one explaining difficult concepts in an “easy to understand” format. This and my other courses are founded on my 35 years experience in the healthcare industry growing my career from development engineer through president. It is also based on my 15 years teaching business and healthcare at the graduate level at 2 Universities.

Learn the fundamentals of xrays in healthcare, how they are generated and the many systems which are based on xrays.
