Digital radiography concerns several aspects of electronic medical imaging.
Digital radiography training involves instruction in electronic medical imaging to students already versed in analog medical imaging techniques. Students learn the advantages of digital imaging, operate digital medical imaging devices, and monitor system performance.
Scope
Digital radiography training introduces students to basic, intermediate and advanced electronic medical imaging procedures, corrosion and condition monitoring, and flaw detection in digital images. Students also learn radiography film archival techniques, principles of tangential radiography, and image interpretation.
Duration
Course length varies depending on the subject matter. Certain specialty training within the field, such as the Radiograph Film Digitization and Archiving course offered by Computerized Information Technology, Ltd., lasts four days. Other classes, such as the Digital Radiography Theory and Practice course from The South West School of Non-destructive Testing, lasts one day.
Cost
The cost of training varies with the level of instruction and subject matter covered, but as of October, 2010, the DR/Realtime X-ray with Intro to Computed Tomography (CT) class from North Star Imaging cost $950.
