This course provides an in-depth study of the principles of radiation physics as they apply to radiographic imaging. Students will explore the nature and properties of ionizing radiation, including the production and interaction of x-rays. The course covers key concepts such as atomic structure, electromagnetic radiation, and the physics of x-ray generation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the technical aspects of radiation production, the behavior of radiation in matter, and the principles of radiation dosimetry. Through theoretical instruction and practical applications, students will gain a solid foundation in physics underlying radiographic imaging.
