Event Detailed Description- The Department of Radiology under the School of Allied Health Sciences, Galgotias University, organized a highly informative and practical hands-on training session titled "X-ray Modalities & Radiographic Positioning" on 28th May 2025. The workshop was designed to provide students with real-time clinical exposure and a deeper understanding of various X-ray imaging techniques and accurate radiographic positioning, which are essential components of diagnostic radiology. The event began at 10:00 AM with a formal welcome address and introduction of the guest speaker by the Program Chair Mr. Amit Pratap Singh Chouhan from the Department of Radiology. Mr. Sharma commenced the session by covering the practical aspects of different X-ray modalities, including general radiography and positioning of patients. He emphasized on the importance of understanding imaging protocols, radiation safety, and Proper patient positioning in diagnostic radiology. Following the lecture, he demonstrated radiographic positioning techniques using simulation tools and imaging equipment, highlighting positioning strategies for various anatomical regions such as the chest, spine, extremities, and skull.
Students were given the opportunity to actively participate in practical demonstrations under the guidance of Mr. Sharma. He provided individualized feedback and clarified doubts, making the session highly interactive and educational. Real-life case scenarios were also discussed to help students correlate textbook knowledge with clinical application. The speaker also shared insights into recent advancements in radiographic technologies and the evolving role of technologists in cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.
A total of over 120 students from the B.Sc. Radiology and Imaging Technology program attended the session. The workshop significantly helped participants build confidence in handling radiographic equipment and reinforced the importance of patient positioning for achieving optimal diagnostic images. The event concluded at 4:00 PM with a vote of thanks delivered by the program chair. Mr. Neeraj Sharma was felicitated with a token of appreciation by Dr. Shagun Agarwal, Dean, SAHS for his valuable contribution and for sharing his expertise with the students. Feedback from attendees indicated a high level of satisfaction with the quality of the training and its practical relevance.
