Radiography Image Evaluation and Quality Control

The Radiography Image Evaluation and Quality Control course offers a detailed look at the various equipment, technique, and processing factors affecting image quality and how to evaluate images, identify errors, and address quality issues. The course contains lesson series on spatial resolution and image contrast and the associated procedural factors and image evaluation. 

Topics include: exposure errors, saturation, quantum mottle, processing errors, histogram, magnification, shape distortion, receptor errors, ghost images, erasure, pixel damage, collimation, identification errors, and kVp linearity, as well as receptor and display systems errors.

• Recognize the purpose and management of exposure factors.

• Explain technical, procedural, and patient factors affecting image appearance.

• Recognize patient and equipment-related artifacts.

• Discuss how a histogram will evaluate imaging quality.

• Evaluate for errors and describe corrective action to improve image appearance.

• Review quality control measures for imaging equipment and display systems.
