Radtech Course

Radtech is a college-level course designed to help students learn the fundamentals of radiation technology and its associated disciplines. The course is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to pursue careers in a variety of radiation-related professions, including radiation therapists, medical physicists, and radiologists. The curriculum includes topics such as radiation physics, radiation biology, radiation protection, medical imaging, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, and radiation safety. Upon completion of the course, students should have a solid understanding of the principles of radiation technology and its application in healthcare settings. Radtech courses typically include lectures, lab work, and hands-on activities. Classes may include discussions on radiobiology, radiation physics, radiation protection and safety, diagnostic imaging, treatment planning, dosimetry, and the clinical application of radiation therapy. Students may also gain experience in patient care, records management, and radiation oncology. In addition, students learn how to apply the knowledge gained in the course to a clinical setting. At the end of the course, students should be able to effectively explain the principles of radiation safety, understand the implications of radiation technology in the healthcare environment, and develop strategies to protect patients and healthcare providers from harmful radiation exposure.
