-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide concepts of radiologic sciences and patient care. Included in the course are discussions of professionalism, effective communication, patient physical needs assessment, patient consent procedures, x-ray production characteristics, basic radiation protection procedures, health information confidentiality, medical terminology, principles of pharmacology and contrast media, quality management, ethical behaviors and legal issues in health care. The student will also demonstrate competence in routine and emergency patient care, patient transfer and safety procedures, infection control, aseptic and sterile environment procedures, and radiographic equipment manipulation.
-
5.00 Credits
This course will provide the student with the knowledge necessary to perform routine and mobile radiographic procedures relative to the thoracic and abdominal organs (including gastrointestinal studies), bony thorax, upper extremity and shoulder girdle. Emphasis will be on radiographic terms, anatomy, pathology, positioning, manipulation of radiographic equipment and accessories, and related patient care considerations.
-
4.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: RADT1114 and RADT1140. This course will provide the student with the knowledge necessary to perform radiographic procedure relative to the urinary system, the bony thorax, skull, vertebral column and arthology. Emphasis will be on radiographic terms, anatomy, positioning, manipulation of radiographic equipment and accessories, and patient care considerations related to radiography of the urinary system, bony thorax, vertebral column, skull and arthrography. Basic techniques in venipuncture, contrast media types, intravenous medication and emergency response will also be included.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL2232, RADT1140. This course is designed to establish a basic knowledge of atomic structure and terminology, and provide an overview of the principles of radiation protection and interaction with living systems. Also presented are tshe nature and characteristics of radiation, (i.e. its effects on molecules, cells, tissues, and the body as a whole) x-ray production and the fundamentals of photon interactions with matter. Radiation health and safety requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies, accreditation agencies, healthcare organizations, and the responsibilities of the radiographer for patients, personnel and the public are also incorporated. Factors affecting biological response are presented, including acute and chronic effects of radiation.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: RADT 1112, 1116 and 1124. This course is designed to establish a knowledge base in factors that govern and influence the production and recording of radiographic images as well as provide a basis for analyzing those images. Film and electronic imaging with related accessories will be emphasized. Included is the importance of minimum imaging standards, discussion of problem solving technique for image evaluation and the factors that can affect image quality. Class demonstrations/labs are used to demonstrate application. Actual images will be included for analysis.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide the student with the knowledge necessary to perform routine and mobile radiographic procedures relative to skull (including sensory organs), traumatic injury, and surgical radiography. Pathological conditions of these anatomical structures will be discusses as well. In addition the student will be introduced to highly specialized studies of the central nervous system, cardiovascular, lymphatic system and cross-sectional imaging. Special imaging equipment, physical settings and techniques used in these highly specialized studies will also be included.
-
5.00 Credits
The emphasis of this clinical rotation will be on radiographic positioning and manipulation of radiographic equipment and accessories related to radiography of the thoracic and abdominal viscera, upper and lower extremity, shoulder girdle and pelvis.
-
5.00 Credits
This clinical course emphasizes the basic radiographic procedures and positioning related to the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract and the biliary system. The student also will continue to acquire and build skills in performing radiographic procedures and positioning related to the thoracic and abdominal cavities and the upper and lower extremities including the shoulder girdle and the pelvis.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide the student with the knowledge necessary to perform routine and mobile radiographic procedures relative to facial bones, bony thorax, urinary system, gastrointestinal system, arthrology, traumatic injury and surgical radiography. Emphasis will be on radiographic terms, anatomy, pathology, positioning, manipulation of radiographic equipment and accessories, and patient care considerations. Basic techniques in venipuncture, contrast media types, intravenous medication and emergency response will also be included. Additionally, the student will be introduced to highly specialized studies of the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, reproductive system and cross-sectional imaging. Special imaging equipment, physical settings and techniques used in these highly specialized studies will also be included.
