After successful completion of all seven modules, participants will receive 7 CE credits and a document from the ASRT recognizing their achievement.
These modules meet California digital radiography CE credit requirements. Format: online modules.
This module describes the characteristics of digital imaging receptors and the factors that affect their response to exposure. The image capture process for digital image receptors is explained as well as the factors that determine spatial resolution. Learn how to identify the sources of image blur and the equipment associated with digital fluoroscopic imaging systems.
This module describes how photostimulable phosphor (PSP) image receptors extract data. Learn how to analyze image data extracted from image receptors and to identify and describe the most common exposure indicators for image detectors. The effects of automatic rescaling on image quality are also explained.
This module explains the difference between a cathode ray tube and a liquid crystal display monitor. Learn how different monitors can affect the image display. Features of a modality workstation monitor and workstation functions are also explained in this module.
This module examines the relationship between exposure indicator values, histogram analysis and automatic rescaling. Learn how exposure changes will affect the appearance of a digital image and how to evaluate a digitally acquired image to assess appropriate exposure levels. You will also learn how to locate different types of artifacts on a digital image and identify their probable causes.
This module describes the components of a PACS and its functions. Learn the purpose of a PACS and the types of data included in a PACS display.
This module defines and describes the three pillars of radiation safety and the units of measure used for radiation safety. Learn different shielding methods for various procedures, including fluoroscopic procedures.
This module explains why quality assurance testing is important and how these tests are performed on photostimulable phosphor (PSP) and flat-panel image receptors. Also learn how display monitors are tested.
