Digital and Computed Radiography
8 Hours ARRT Category A Credit
Philippe Moh, Mphil, BS, RT(R)
About this Seminar
Diagnostic imaging has undergone an explosion in technology with the advent of computerized imaging, and the production of digital radiographic images is rapidly replacing film/screen radiography. Creating radiographic images in a digital format has considerable advantages, including electronic processing, storage and image manipulation. With the ongoing development of applications in digital radiography, imaging professionals are expected to master computerized imaging, and display a high level of knowledge and awareness of the capabilities of their imaging systems. Patient safety and reliable diagnostic information are intrinsically linked to these factors. This seminar will provide imaging professionals with a excellent opportunity to refresh their knowledge on computerized imaging, detector technology, image acquisition techniques and processing, radiation safety and Quality Control.
At the completion of this seminar, participants will:

  • Describe the technology of digital projection imaging.
  • Understand how image quality indicators in digital imaging compare to film/screen.
  • Understand the technological differences of CR and DR and the different vendors options.
  • Understand the clinical advantages and limitations of CR and DR.
  • Understand the processes by which artifacts are created in digital imaging and know how to perform artifacts corrections.
  • Understand how exposure parameters work in digital imaging compare to film/screen.
  • Reduce exposure dose in digital imaging.
  • Understand the principles of digital images manipulation.

Who Should Attend
This seminar is designed for all imaging professionals who are interested in increasing their knowledge of this rapidly expanding modality. Both radiologic technologists who currently are working in digital radiography and those who are not will benefit from this seminar. A basic understanding of the principles of conventional film screen radiography will be assumed.
About the Instructor
Philippe Moh, MPhil, BS, RT(R)
Philippe has taught medical imaging sciences at both the Tromsoe and Oslo University Colleges in Norway, one of the world earliest adopter of digital radiography and PACS. He holds a BS degree in radiological sciences from the Tromsoe University College and a Master in Public Management. Philippe has an extensive clinical and teaching experience in both X-ray and CT and has developed educational programs in these modalities, including Problem Based Learning approaches in radiography education.
Seminar Credit
This program provides 8 hours of Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states. A certificate of attendance will be provided for each individual upon completion of the seminar. All attendees must attend the entire seminar to receive full credit.
