Radiographic Anatomy & Positioning Foundations
Anatomic planes, landmarks, body habitus, positions, projections, central-ray direction, and positioning terminology.
Radiation Physics & X-Ray Production
Atomic interactions, x-ray tube operation, beam production, attenuation, scatter, filtration, and generator concepts.
Exposure Factors & Image Acquisition
kVp, mAs, SID/OID, grids, AEC, digital detectors, exposure indicators, technique changes, and image quality.
Radiation Biology & Protection
Biologic effects, dose, ALARA, pregnancy, collimation, shielding principles, occupational monitoring, and repeat reduction.
Chest, Abdomen & Extremity Procedures
Patient-centered positioning, anatomy demonstrated, central-ray placement, breathing, trauma adaptations, and image criteria.
Spine, Pelvis, Skull & Advanced Procedures
Axial skeleton positioning, trauma modifications, mobile/surgical imaging, fluoroscopic concepts, and advanced procedure decisions.
Image Evaluation & Clinical Judgment
Systematic image critique, positioning error recognition, exposure analysis, artifacts, corrective action, and integrated clinical decisions.
Built to challenge you
Modules require 85% mastery. Questions emphasize application, plausible distractors, balanced answer choices, positioning decisions, exposure tradeoffs, radiation protection, and image critique rather than obvious recall.
Educational scope: This Academy reinforces concepts encountered in radiography education and entry-level practice. It does not replace an accredited radiography program, required clinical competencies, ARRT eligibility requirements, certification, state licensure, or clinical supervision.
