3.00 Credits
Co-requisites: RT 101. This course provides an overview of the principles and a process related to radiographic image formation/ production and analyzes factors effecting the production and appearance of radiographic density. Learning activities assist student development of skills in manipulating various independent and combinations of factors to produce a quality image. Both analog (filmscreen) and digital imaging technology will be presented in this course. Laboratory exercises and practical sessions reinforce theoretical principles covered in lecture. Lecture: 2 hours per week. Lab: 2 hours per week. 3 credits

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better in RT 111, RT 101. Co-requisites: RT 102. This course is a continuation of RT 111. Factors closely related to the production of radiographic contrast and detail resolution will be studied. Effective utilization of imaging accessories and the principles and practices related to the development of an assessment of radiographic quality are included. Laboratory exercises and practical competency assessments reinforce the theoretical principles learned in lecture. Advanced principles and practices related to digital imaging will be considered. Lecture: 2 hours per week. Lab: 2 hours per week. 3 credits

3.00 Credits
Co-requisites: RT 101, RT 111. Prior to assignment to a clinical site, students are required to successfully complete an orientation program. It includes an overview of all program requirements and the HHSE Student handbook and Policy Manual with Radiologic Technology Program Addendum. The orientation includes medical ethics, basic patient care practices and procedures, medical terminology and radiation safety principles and practices related to the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills for safe participation in the hospital. Students will begin clinical activities that focus on development of basic clinical competency in the manipulation of radiographic equipment and accessories and the performance of x-ray examinations presented in RT 101. Clinical education activities involve two 8-hour days per week and a 40-hour-per-week internship for two weeks during college intersession. Clinical: 16 hours per week plus 80 hours during intersession. 3 credits

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: RT 101, RT 111 & RT 121. Co-requisites: RT 102, RT 112. The student will develop and demonstrate basic competency in the performance of examinations covered in RT 102 including those related to the lower extremities, spinal column, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle. In addition, students demonstrate continued competence in the performance of exam categories included in RT 121 and will be expected to be active participants in the performance of tasks and skills associated with routine operations of radiographic/ fluoroscopic suites. Clinical education activities involve two 8-hour days per week. Clinical: 16 hours per week. 3 credits
-
6.00 Credits
Prerequisites: RT 102, RT 112, & RT 122. During this full-time four day per week clinical experience, students will continue to develop and demonstrate an increasing degree of competence in the performance and skills related to independent decisionmaking, efficiency and speed of performance and problemsolving ability required for the area/procedure/ exam categories. Students are required to demonstrate basic competence in the performance of exams of the skull and exams performed at the patient bedside. Clinical: 32 hours per week for Summer Session. 6 credits
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MA 098. This course presents an overview of the basic laws, theories and principles including basic atomic structure, electrostatics, electrodynamics, and electromagnetism, radioactivity and the electromagnetic spectrum. Classroom lectures, discussions, and assignments assist students in relating facts, theories, and laws to operating principles associated with the components of x-ray generating equipment, nature of the x-ray beam produced and the types of interactions of xradiation with matter that are associated with medical imaging applications. Lecture: 4 hours per week. 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better in RT 102, BI 116, RT 112. Co-requisites:RT 214. This course presents the skill clusters of less commonly performed exams of skeletal anatomy, more involved procedures used to image the facial bones, the mammary glands, the salivary gland, trauma, and pediatric radiography and other minor special procedures. Male and female reproductive systems will be studied. Laboratory exercises and practical competency assessments reinforce theoretical principles presented in lecture. Lecture: 2 hours per week. Lab: 2 hours per week. 3 credits
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: RT 131, BI 116. This course presents biological effects (at the atomic, molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and organism level) of exposure to ionizing radiation. The relative risks-vs.-benefits associated with medical radiation exposure theories, principles underlying radiation safety/protection practices/ procedures and accessory usage will be studied. Lecture: 2 hours per week. 2 credits
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite RT 102, RT 112 . Co-requisites: RT 203. This course presents the factors related to the development of technical factor protocol systems. The equipment, principles, and practices associated with radiographic quality control will also be studied. Both analog (filmscreen) and digital imaging technology will be presented in this course. Laboratory exercises and practical sessions reinforce the theoretical principles presented in lecture. Lecture: 2 hours per week. Lab: 2 hours per week. 2 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: RT 203, RT 214. Co-requisites: RT 217. This course presents basic pathologic diseases, radiographic exam indicators and common radiologic findings in routine and specialized modalities. In addition, pharmacology of contrast agents and drugs commonly used in radiology are presented. Lecture: 3 hours per week. 3 credits
