Mathematics

Mathematics provides the quantitative skills needed for exposure calculations, equipment settings, radiation measurements, and data interpretation. Students learn algebra, ratios, proportions, logarithms, unit conversions, and basic statistics to support safe and accurate imaging practice.

To build a strong foundation, begin with Radiographic Physics to understand how math applies to radiation production and attenuation. Review Radiographic Principles to connect math with exposure factors and image quality. Students should also study Radiation Safety to understand dose calculations and monitoring.

Summary: Mathematics supports accuracy, safety, and problem solving in radiologic science. Strengthen your understanding by reviewing Radiographic Physics, applying formulas in Radiographic Principles, and connecting calculations to protection strategies in Radiation Safety.
