  • RDT 211: Medical Imaging III

    2.00 Credits
    Quinsigamond Community College

    Students complete their study of imaging principles pertaining to radiography, fluoroscopy, mobile imaging and tomography with emphasis on developing their ability to analyze medical images and determine corrective actions through suggested modifications of exposure factors and/or imaging equipment. Methods of developing and adjusting exposure techniques and all factors influencing image quality are summarized. The principle of electronic imaging methods are further discussed and include methods of digital image management. Students begin to plan the development of a personal image portfolio due during the fourth semester of the program. Prerequisite: RDT 112. F

  • RDT 221: Radiographic Positioning & Anatomy III

    3.00 Credits
    Quinsigamond Community College

    This course focuses on the specific anatomy and common procedures used for imaging the craniofacial region, the modifications necessary to performing imaging procedures at the patient's bedside or in surgery using mobile radiographic and C-arm equipment and methods for adapting imaging procedures to trauma and pediatric patients. An introduction to the sectional perspective of anatomical structures of the head, thorax, abdomen and pelvis is included. Students simulate the procedures presented and utilize critical thinking skills to solve positioning problems related to atypical, acute, and trauma patients in this course during separate laboratory activities. Prerequisite: RDT 122. F

  • RDT 231: Medical Radiography Clinic III

    6.00 Credits
    Quinsigamond Community College

    This course focuses on the development of students' clinical skills with emphasis on performing fluoroscopy, mobile, and surgical exams, as well as imaging the bony thorax, facial bones, and sinuses. Students expand their skills with trauma procedures; are introduced to pediatric imaging; assume independent care of stable and mildly acute patients; and closely assist with more severely acute patients. Students use problem solving and critical thinking skills in the management of nontypical imaging situations and the continued assessment of image quality. Corequisites: RDT 211, RDT 221, RDT 245. F

  • RDT 232: Medical Radiography Clinic IV

    5.00 Credits
    Quinsigamond Community College

    This course concentrates on refining students' skills in performing all mandatory and elective procedures required for graduation and eventual employment as an entry-level radiographer. Upon completion of this course, students are eligible for examination for certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Students work independently, with indirect supervision, on all exams for which they have been evaluated as competent. Advanced imaging procedures are presented and include specialized cranio-facial imaging, basic special procedures, trauma, pediatric, and surgical exams. Students are encouraged to experience advanced modalities such as CT, MR, angiography, nuclear medicine, and sonography. Corequisites: RDT 251, RDT 252. S

  • RDT 245: Medical Radiographic Equipment & Quality Assurance

    4.00 Credits
    Quinsigamond Community College

    This course includes the principles of mechanics, electrostatics, electrodynamics, magnetism, electromagnetism, and circuitry. Students examine these concepts in detail and apply them to the design and operation of radiographic and fluoroscopic systems. Students also learn how radiologic quality assurance programs are developed and implemented. Laboratory sessions feature hands-on demonstrations of the principles discussed in lecture and allow students to perform quality control tests on the campus ionized radiographic unit and accessory equipment.

  • RDT 251: Imaging Modalities

    2.00 Credits
    Quinsigamond Community College

    This course presents the basic equipment and principles of the imaging modalities within the profession of Radiologic Sciences; inclusive of mammography, vascular imaging and computed tomography; at least two of the following modalities are also presented: nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance imaging and sonography. The similarities of imaging principles between these modalities and radiography are about alternate imaging procedures and provide guidance for future career advancement. Guest speakers from the various modalities are invited to provide first hand perspectives and educational requirements. Students read related professional articles and create a personal imaging portfolio. Prerequisite: RDT 211. S
