3.00 Credits
The general goal of this course is to assist the student to become familiar with the basic medical terminology, radiation protection principles, procedures, settings, and patient care skills associated with the profession of medical radiography (which may be combined with like educational content presently contained within the AD Nursing curriculum). A combination of lectures, guided self-study, guest lecturers, and laboratory experiences will assist the student to develop all cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills prerequisite to safely and efficiently entering the clinical environment.

3.00 Credits
In this first course of a series of three courses, students will learn how to safely and efficiently move/manipu late typical types of radiographic and fluoroscopic equipment, locks, and accessories. Students will learn and be exposed to medical terminology as it pertains to medical radiography. The student will demonstrate and practice, with evaluations in the lab setting, the body positions required to obtain the routine view for examinations of the following anatomical parts: chest, abdomen, hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, humerus, toes, foot, calcaneous, ankle, tibia, fibula, knee, patella, and femur. Concurrently, students will study all pertinent anatomic structures, organs, and more relating to the exams covered in this course both in class and through guided self-study exercises. There will be two twohour lectures per week. The class will be divided into two four-hour lab sections per week. The course will run for the first seven weeks of the semester.

3.00 Credits
In this second course of a series of three courses, students will continue to learn the gross and topographic anatomic structures and medical terminology while demonstrating, with evaluations, in the lab setting the routine body positions required to obtain radiographic images pertaining to the examinations of the following: digestive system, shoulder girdle, bony thorax, pelvic girdle, cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbosacral spine, and coccyx. Concurrently, students will expand their radiographic medical terminology knowledge. There will be two two-hour lectures per week. The class will be divided into two four-hour lab sections per week. The course will run for the first seven weeks of the semester.

3.00 Credits
In this, an introduction to the art and science of medical imaging, students will learn the basic elements common to all forms of medical imaging utilized in modern radiology departments. Principles, concepts, and applications of signal theory will be studied within the framework of film/screen and digital/computed radiologic imaging and fluoroscopic imaging. A general, introductory application of signal theory to computerized tomography, medical sonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine imaging will also be presented. Factors, equipment, theoretical foundations relevant to the production of various levels of radiologic density/brightness will also be studied. Application of these factors and diagnostic equipment within structured laboratory exercises will provide practice for the production of consistent, quality images. There will be two two-hour lectures per week. The class will be divided into two four-hour lab sections per week. The course will run for the second seven weeks of the semester.
-
3.00 Credits
This continuation of study of the principles, factors, and practices associated with the production of medical radiographic images will include a further analysis of radiographic density/brightness production plus detailed analyses of factors producing radiographic contrast and detail/spatial resolution. Methods of image archiving and transmission will also be studied. Laboratory exercises will assist the student in application of the factors studied to produce consistent, quality images, and, through application of computer image post processing algorithms, optimize images. There will be two two-hour lectures and one four-hour lab per week for the second seven weeks of the semester.
-
3.00 Credits
Starting with a formal orientation at the student's assigned clinical site, students will progress from structured observational experiences through guided clinical application of procedure performance skills to assessment and achievement of clinical competency in the performance of those radiologic exams studied in Radiologic Procedures with Related Anatomy I and Lab. Students will be given performance benchmarks as guidelines as they develop confidence and competence in the performance of selected radiographic exams of the chest, abdomen, and upper and lower extremities. There will be two seven-hour days of clinical preceptorship per week for 15 weeks.

3.00 Credits
Students will continue to develop confidence in the performance of those radiographic exams that were incorporated in the first semester's study. In addition, they will progress from structured observational experiences through guided clinical application of procedure performance skills to assessment and achievement of clinical competency in the performance of those radiologic exams studied in Radiologic Procedures with Related Anatomy II and Lab. Students will be given performance benchmarks as guidelines as they develop confidence and competence in the performance of selected radiographic (and in selected cases, fluoroscopic and bedside/portable) exams of the chest, GI system, shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, and complete spine. There will be two seven-hour day clinical preceptorship days per week for 15 weeks. Daily clinical conferences/ critique sessions will be incorporated.
-
3.00 Credits
An initial study of the fundamental theories and principles relevant to classical Newtonian physics will be followed by the study of atomic structure. In addition, students will study the physical principles relevant to the function/operation of x-ray-generating equipment, the interaction of x-radiation with matter, and radioactive processes. Correlations between the principles learned and procedures/practices involved with the production of radiographic images will also be studied. There will be three hours of lecture per week.
