RAD 207 - Radiologic Technology 3
Credits: 4
4 Lecture Hours
Prerequisites: BIO 162 , PHY 100 , RAD 157 and RAD 158C
Co-requisites: PHY 128 and RAD 208C
Description
This course is an introduction to specialized radiographic procedures of nonskeletal areas and the biological effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. It also includes a review of the basic radiation cell physiology and chemistry that influence somatic and genetic responses from ionized tissue. This course requires a per credit health career fee; Check the tuition and fee schedule for the current rate.
