System Components and Device Types

Describes common allied health equipment including ultrasound transducers, radiography detectors, linear accelerators, ventilators, analyzers, and monitors and explains selection and positioning principles for safe, effective use.

Key Technical Concepts

Accessible explanations of imaging and device fundamentals: frequency versus penetration, detector sensitivity, dose concepts, ventilator modes, assay performance characteristics, and how parameter choices affect diagnostic or therapeutic outcomes.

Routine Equipment Checks

A practical checklist for daily and periodic equipment checks students and staff should observe: visual inspection, phantom or QC runs, calibration verification, consumable checks, and documentation of software updates and service events.
