Digital radiography in the education of radiologic technology students

Sivard, Seth A.

Abstract Details

2004, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Allied Medical Professions.

This study was conducted to ascertain the amount of preparation radiography students are receiving in the subject of digital radiography as compared to film/screen radiography, both in the didactic setting and in the clinical education setting. Surveys were sent to 196 radiography schools listed as accredited schools by the ARRT. The respondents were evaluated as a whole and as categories starting with less than 500 total didactic hours up to 2000 total didactic hours at increments of 500 total didactic hours. The results demonstrated that film/screen radiography dominated in both settings. However, radiography students spent 44.8% of their time in a clinical education setting which utilized digital radiography. The study also indicated that the majority of the radiography schools didactically taught digital radiography as part of a course, not having a course dedicated to digital radiography.
