Medical science has come a long way. One of the prime factors behind today's cutting-edge treatment is the discovery, development and application of radiography tools and techniques. Radiography is the most accepted method in modern medical science for using human body images to analyse conditions. It has gained popularity and acceptance as an effective system of diagnosing disease among the medical fraternity. This course is a must if you are interested in radiography or radiology and want to become acquainted with all it entails before studying it further.
Divided into two modules, the primary goal of this course is to provide you with an in-depth overview of radiography, the science behind it with all its elements and uses. Each module covers various topics that offer you a comprehensive understanding of radiology, from its history to its concepts, practices and precautions. The lessons also make you aware of the related health and safety issues related to radiography. We will test you at the end of the course on your knowledge and understanding of the subject matter through several evaluation questions.
'Applications of Radiography' is an ideal course for beginners. It is an orientation course in radiography or radiology. If you aspire to become a radiologist, are curious to learn more about the science behind radiology or are a paramedic or practitioner who wants to refresh their knowledge of the subject, this course is perfect for you.
Module 1
Introduction to Radiography
In this module, you will get familiar with the fundamentals and science behind radiography, processes and radiographic images. You will also study the effect of heat on the state of matter and radioactivity. Then be guided into understanding how our body reacts to exposure to radiographic radiation and the related factors.
Module 2
Radiation Protection and Radiography of Body Parts
With this module, you will explore the subject of radiography in more detail. Recognise the various safety measures and get familiar with the role of technology in the imaging process.

Radiologist Technician
Since X-rays, the first radiation known to man have discovered accidentally, radiology has evolved into a critical component of the healthcare system. A system of non-invasive diagnostic imaging tools, radiology has helped physicians treat millions of patients to date. Radiologist Technicians or RTs are essential members of healthcare teams worldwide, collaborating with doctors and nurses to perform various imaging procedures.
