This course is designed to escalate basic physics studies that underlie x-ray production and image enhancement techniques of fluoroscopic equipment utilized in interventional cardiac/vascular laboratories. Topics include the production of x-rays, electromagnetic interactions with matter, equipment circuitry, targets, filtration, various filming techniques, digital equipment, and principles of magnification. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the application of physical concepts and specialized imaging techniques as related to image production.
