PHY 118 - Medical Imaging Science

• Understanding Radiation Production: Students will gain in-depth knowledge of the principles of radiation production, including the generation of X-rays. This knowledge is essential for interpreting medical images and understanding the functioning of imaging equipment. 
• Nuclear Medicine Studies: The course will cover the fundamentals of nuclear medicine, including the use of radioactive materials in medical imaging. This is a critical component of modern medical diagnostics and treatment. 
• Acoustical Properties in Sonography: Students will learn about the acoustical properties that underlie sonographic exams. This knowledge is vital for understanding how ultrasound technology produces images and how to interpret them. 
• Radiation Safety and Ethics: Emphasis will be placed on radiation safety protocols and ethical considerations in medical imaging. Students will be prepared to uphold the highest standards of patient care and safety.
