Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Skills training
Learning outcomes
The aim is to teach students how to use the basic technological procedures, physical and geometric principles and anatomical knowledge required for making a conventional radiogram. Students learn to use all the imaging parameters that determine the quality of a radiogram and the patient radiation dose to ensure adequate quality of radiological information for diagnostic purposes with a minimum radiation dose to the patient and health care personnel.

Prerequisites
Familiarizing with ways of positioning a patient and placing the source of ionizing radiation in such a way the resulting image would be optimal and appropriate to the requirements, medical condition of the patient, and used imaging technology. Students will be able to assess quality of produced radiograms, modify specific imaging conditions according to technical capacities of the imaging technology and the condition of the patient with a rational reduction of radiation load.
