Course | Description |
Radiation Safety (Study Content and Test) | This course is designed for the imaging professional who is directly, or indirectly involved with the Radiography environment. Within this course, many of the key components of radiation are addressed including: public perception and radiation damage. |
Basics of Radiation Protection | Radiation protection is a basic yet serious consideration for all R.T.s. This refresher course begins with an introduction to cell radiosensitivity, which dictates how much radiation is absorbed (dose) and the cell’s response. Radiation exposure can create both short- and long-term effects varying in severity from mild nausea to cancer. |
Patient Education and the Radiologic Technologist | Patient education is more critical today than ever before. It begins with the health care provider supplying information to patients to influence patients’ attitudes and behaviors and thus improve their health. As a practice, patient education requires skills and knowledge of theories and research; as a movement, its acceptance is relatively recent and still evolving. |
Radiation Protection | In an era of digital imaging and advanced technology, the responsibility for radiation dose is shared by the physician who orders a study or treatment, the radiologic technologist who obtains the medical image or provides treatment and the facility that oversees the process. |
X-ray Plain and Simple | This is a fundamentals course in X-ray imaging. It describes in detail all of the fundamental components of a basic X-ray system: the Generator, X-ray Tube, Grids, Screen / Film Combination, Image Intensifier, and the TV Camera. |

Orthopaedist's Guide to Plain Film Imaging: Lower extremity - Femur / Knee / Tibia | After completion of this module, the learner should be able to Describe routine and special radiographic views applicable for orthopaedic and rheumatologic diseases affecting the osseous femur / knee / tibia structures. |
Orthopaedist's Guide to Plain Film Imaging: Lower extremity - Pelvis / Hip | After completion of this module, the learner should be able to Describe routine and special radiographic views applicable for orthopaedic and rheumatologic diseases affecting the osseous pelvic structures. |
Orthopaedist's Guide to Plain Film Imaging: Shoulder / Forearm / Elbow | After completion of this module, the learner should be able to Describe routine and special radiographic views applicable for orthopaedic and rheumatologic diseases affecting the shoulder, forearm, and elbow. |
Orthopaedist's Guide to Plain Film Imaging: The Spine | After completion of this module, the learner should be able to Describe routine and special radiographic views applicable for orthopaedic and rheumatologic diseases affecting the spine. |
Orthopaedist's Guide to Plain Film Imaging: Wrist / Hand / Thumb / Fingers | After completion of this module, the learner should be able to Describe routine and special radiographic views applicable for orthopaedic and rheumatologic diseases affecting the wrist, hand, thumb, and fingers. |
CS9027 - DICOM Training | This eLearning course discusses the upper three layers (5-7) of the OSI Model and the DICOM protocol. |
CS9027T - DICOM Training Certification Exam | This module contains ONLY the certification exam for the CS9027:DICOM Training course. If you have not already taken this eLearning course, do not proceed. |
The Radiographer’s Role in Optimizing Computed and Digital Radiography Exams | As hospital and imaging departments replace conventional film-screen imaging with computed radiography or digital radiography, greater emphasis is placed on balancing radiation exposure and quality imaging. |
PACS Plain and Simple | This is a fundamental course in PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems). At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to understand the following concepts and apply them in everyday practice. |
Medical Image Processing Plain and Simple | This is a fundamental course in Medical Image Processing. At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to understand the following concepts and apply them in everyday practice: - Bits and Bytes - Sizes of various types of medical images - Spatial versus contrast resolution. |
Medical Imaging Trends in Healthcare Plain and Simple | This introductory course introduces the major medical imaging trends in the healthcare industry. These trends will have a significant influence on how healthcare evolves within the next few years effecting all the players in the healthcare value chain. |
Ergonomics for Radiologic Technologists, Part 1: Posture | This module identifies the muscles used in moving and lifting, and describes the importance of maintaining joint and muscles flexibility for the performance of routine moving and lifting by health care workers. |
Ergonomics for Radiologic Technologists, Part 2: Moving and Lifting | This module describes and illustrates muscles that should be used to move and lift heavy objects, details the basic mechanics of moving an object, and describes the proper way to move or lift heavy objects to help avoid injury and to maintain flexibility of joints and muscles. |
CR and DR Plain and Simple | This is a fundamental course in CR (Computed Radiography) and DR Digital Radiography. At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to understand the following concepts and apply them in everyday practice. |
Digital Imaging in Radiography: The Basics | This module offers a historical overview of digital applications in medical imaging. Basic principles of digital radiographic imaging technology are discussed, including image acquisition, processing, and display. |
Digital Imaging in Radiography: Image Quality Control | Building on the concepts included in the module, Digital Imaging in Radiography: The Basics, this module compares the various data acquisition devices and image receptors in terms of spatial resolution, contrast resolution, artifacts, and image noise. |
