-
3.00 Credits
This course will be devoted to a study of the prime exposure factors and the technical factors of image quality. The relationship between milliamperage, kilovoltage, time, distance, density and contrast on a radiograph will be emphasized. Students will perform experiments to demonstrate the radiographic effect of manipulating the prime factors. A study of ancillary equipment to the x ray machine will be made, along with the principles of utilizing the equipment to best advantage.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a lecture/demonstration course of basic routine procedures of chest, upper and lower extremities, including introduction to contrast media procedures of the abdomen. The course also includes appropriate medical terminology associated with the procedure. Demonstrations and competency testing procedures are conducted in the SMCC radiographic energized simulation laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Radiographic Procedures I and includes procedures of the vertebral column, contrast studies of urinary system as well as an introduction to pediatric and mobile radiography. Demonstrations and competency testing procedures are conducted in the SMCC radiographic energized simulation lab. Prerequisite(s): RAD 110.
-
5.00 Credits
This course correlates the academic concepts into the clinical environment, dealing directly with patients. Under supervision, students will observe and perform radiographic examinations of the chest, abdomen, upper and lower extremities. Clinical competency evaluations are utilized to document clinical performance. Prerequisite(s): Program Acceptance.
-
5.00 Credits
Students continue in the clinical setting to perform radiographic examinations of patients under supervision. In addition to those examinations previously performed, students will learn to perform radiographs of the spine, contrast studies and mobile radiography. Prerequisite(s): RAD 130.
-
4.00 Credits
During this semester, students are able to continue to perform radiographic examinations on increasingly difficult patients. Continuity of procedural area is achieved with this five day per week clinical practice and allows freshmen students to achieve competencies appropriate to this semester. Prerequisite(s): RAD 131.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will discuss and demonstrate standard practices in surgical/trauma radiography. A survey of specialized imaging including cross sectional anatomy, digital radiography, mammography, cardiac, peripheral and neurological angiography, CT Scanning, Magnetic Resonance and Sonography will be presented. Prerequisite(s): RAD 112.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a review of all factors affecting radiographic density. Utilizing a format of lecture demonstrations, all factors affecting radiographic contrast, recorded detail, distortion, and computed radiography will be covered. Emphasis will be given to special imaging techniques as well as digital imaging. Imaging systems will be evaluated relative to their speed, resolution, and reduction of patient dose. Students are encouraged to present "real life" situations and challenges related to exposure to the class for discussion and problem resolution. Prerequisite(s): RAD 108.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to familiarize students with the basic concepts of quality assurance as applied to diagnostic x ray equipment. As x ray equipment has become more complex, the need for radiographers to understand detailed operational parameters and limitations of equipment has become increasingly more important. This course will provide students with the necessary theoretical background and experimental skills to permit them to function effectively as part of a team to measure and evaluate radiographic quality assurance programs. Prerequisite(s): RAD 237.
-
7.00 Credits
In the clinical setting, students will continue to achieve competency in increasingly difficult procedures and will observe and assist in vascular radiography, mammography and tomography on patients, with emphasis on special procedures. Prerequisite(s): RAD 137.
