Course Description
Radiation safety is the most important task in the radiologic technologist’s job description. An essential component of this responsibility requires the radiation exposure during each imaging examination to be as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) given the clinical indications and conditions. This course concerns principles of radiation physics and the biological effects of ionizing radiation. Foundational concepts of minimizing patient and personnel exposure to ionizing radiation are covered. Throughout the course, the ALARA principles of radiation safety are highlighted.
This course is based on the book Radiation Protection & Safety in Radiography, by Jeana Fleitz, M.Ed., RT(R)(M)(ARRT)™. The book/PDF is 105 pages long and 8.5 x 11 inches in size. This book has 12 pt font and 1.5 line spacing.
The test has 48 multiple choice and true/false questions
