Description:

Encourages students to take a more active role in basic radiographic procedures, emphasizing technique-selection, radiographic positioning, explanation of procedures to the patients, and clerical tasks associated with radiography. Students begin taking a participatory role in operating room procedures and neonatal special care radiography. The scope of procedures expands to include the thoracic cage, pelvic girdle, spine, and all parts of the skull. In fluoroscopy assignments, students take a more active role in gastrointestinal and barium enema procedures, and expand their participation in procedures such as myelography, cystography, arthrography, and endoscopic studies. Students continue competency testing in basic procedures such as stretcher chest, pediatric chest, extremities, pelvis and lumbar spine. To verify continued competency, students are retested over a competency exam successfully passed the previous semester.
