-
2.00 Credits
A continuance of disease concepts with direct application to patient assessment, patient care, selection of radiation exposure factors and radiologic procedures. Prerequisite: Acceptance into radiologic technology program.
-
3.00 Credits
Information concerning the basic physical principles of sound waves, their applications to the human body, the operation & physical characteristics of the transducer, the method by which the sound waves are converted into an image, and in-depth instruction on physics principles and instrumentation are presented. Topics include: image creation, hemodynamics of blood flow, quality assurance, biological effects, color flow Doppler, spectral Doppler & continuous wave Doppler. Venous & arterial hemodynamics, plethysmography, pressure measurement & other non-ultrasound methods are included. Prerequisite: Consent

-
2.00 Credits
This course will review all of the curriculum related to the physics of sonography and sonography instrumentation to prepare the student for the national credentialing examinations. Prerequisite: AL 331 or consent.
-
4.00 Credits
An extended course to provide students with in-depth experience in the safe handling of megavoltage therapeutic radiology equipment. Studies include: machine warm-up, operation, trouble shooting, & the use of axillary set-up devices & beam modifiers. Students learn the controls on the console for megavoltage treatment equipment & the simulator. Students gain hands-on experience with the treatment console under direct supervision only.
-
4.00 Credits
Detailed study of gross anatomical structures will be conducted systematically for location, relationship to other structures and functions. Gross anatomical structures are located and identified in axial (transverse), sagital, coronal, and orthogonal (oblique) planes. Illustrations and anatomy images will be comapred with magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) images in the same imaging planes and at the same level when applicable. The characteristic appearance of each anatomical structure as it appears on CT and MR, when applicable, will be stressed. Prerequisite: ARRT certification or second-year radiographer student.
-
4.00 Credits
Content provides detailed coverage of procedure protocols for computed tomography imaging. Protocols include, but are not limited to, indications for the procedure, patient education, scan preparation, orientation and positioning, patient history and assessment, contrast media usage, scout image, selectable scan parameters, filming and archiving of the images. Prerequisite: ARRT certification or second-year radiographer student.
-
4.00 Credits
Content is designed to impart an understanding of the physical principles and instrumentation involved in computed tomography. Physics topics include the characteristics of x-radiation, CT beam attenuation, linear attenuation coefficients, tissue characteristics and Hounsfield numbers application. Prerequisite: ARRT certification or second-year radiographer student.
-
3.00 Credits
Content provides thorough coverage of common diseases diagnosable via computed tomography. Each disease or trauma process is examined from its description, etiology, associated symptoms and diagnosis with appearance on CT. Terms associated with these pathologies will be included. Prerequisite: ARRT certification or second-year radiographer student.
-
2.00 - 6.00 Credits
Assignment to a CT facility to provide the opportunity to observe, assist, and perform CT procedures under the supervision and guidance of a qualified CT specialist. Establish eligibility for certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. May be taken in one semester or over the course of two semester. Prerequisite: ARRT certification.
