Season 5 | Episode 10 | Suzy Bullard,MHA, R.T. (R) | Associate Dean/Program Director at BHCLR- School of Radiography

Hey everyone, it’s Lazar Lazarovski, and welcome to another episode of the RadTechLife Podcast! If you’re an X-ray student struggling to understand X-ray production, beam quality vs. quantity, and the inverse square law, this episode is for you!

I’m joined by Suzy Bullard, Program Director of the Radiography Program at Baptist Health College Little Rock, who has spent over two decades training the next generation of radiologic technologists. In this episode, she simplifies some of the most confusing physics concepts and explains why mastering these fundamentals is crucial for clinical success.

🎯 We cover:
✅ How X-rays are actually produced and what makes them unique in the electromagnetic spectrum
✅ The role of frequency and wavelength in determining beam energy
✅ What beam quality vs. quantity means and how kVp and mAs impact the final image
✅ The inverse square law explained in a way that actually makes sense
✅ Primary vs. remnant radiation—what’s essential for image formation
✅ The difference between Bremsstrahlung and Characteristic radiation and how each affects the beam

🚀 If you're preparing for the ARRT registry, struggling with radiation physics, or just want to boost your confidence in the clinical setting, this episode is a must-listen!
