Radiography physics ยท live simulations

RadSchools Interactive

Open any simulation to practice on your own. In class, join with the session code your instructor puts on the screen.

Join a class

X-Ray Circuit Trainer

Hand switch, autotransformer, step-up and step-down transformers, rectifier, filament and the tube, through to a forming hand radiograph.

EM Spectrum Explorer

Radio to gamma with linked frequency, wavelength and energy, the ionization boundary, wave-particle duality and atomic interactions.

X-Ray Production Lab

Bremsstrahlung and characteristic production, the emission spectrum, filtration and beam quality, and interactions in tissue.

Grid Lab

Grid ratio, frequency and type, Bucky factor and contrast, and the four positioning errors that cause grid cutoff, on real radiographs.

QA/QC Lab

Fifteen QC test stations with real limits and a QC log. Audit rooms hide faults for students to find.

Radiation Biology Lab

Absorbed, equivalent and effective dose, deterministic thresholds, stochastic risk, cell survival and LET.

Atom Builder

Build any nuclide, read its shells and stability, decay it, and fire photons, electrons or neutrons at it.

Patient Scenarios

Orders, charts and patients with a problem to catch: identification, pregnancy, refusal, appropriateness and more.

Exposure Simulator

Position, angle, SID, kVp, mAs and grid on radiographs computed from real CT scans, with EI, DI and image evaluation.

Radiographic Math Lab

Ohm's law, transformers and the autotransformer, inverse square and exposure maintenance, the 15% rule and mAs, with the numbers worked live.

Fission Chain Reaction

Neutrons, U-235 and U-238, moderator and control rods. Watch the chain grow generation by generation, hold a reactor critical, or see a runaway blow itself apart.

Practice

Everyone gets their own copy. Change anything, any time. No sign-in.

Class session

One person drives the controls while every screen follows. The instructor hands control to students who raise a hand.

Predict it

Each student answers privately. The instructor sees the live tally, then reveals the answer for everyone.
