This course introduces students to the role of radiography in healthcare. The first section provides the student with an overview of radiography and the health-care systems. Topics include professional organizations, the ARRT Code of Ethics and Standard Practices, Ethics and medico-legal issues that enable the student to understand parameters of professional practice and major areas of responsibility. The second section provides the student with the basic concepts of patient care, including consideration for the physical and psychological needs of the patient and their family. Communication skills, routine emergency patient procedures and infection control procedures using standard precautions are explored. Special and basic fluoroscopy procedures will be introduced along with pharmacology and contrast media, drug administration and venipuncture. Fluoroscopy, mobile and surgical equipment will be introduced. In addition, an on-line medical terminology component will be included in this course.

3.00 Credits
This introductory course provides the student with the basic elements of radiation physics. Topics include units of measurement, atomic structure, nature and characteristics of radiation, x-ray properties, x-ray machine components, x-ray tube and the production of x-rays. Introductory principles of radiographic exposure will also be presented to include the prime factors, image appearance standards of image exposure, contrast, recorded detail, and distortion, grids, AEC, beam limitation and scatter radiation. (Prerequisites: MATH1220, ENGL1215, BIOL2515) (Prerequisite or concurrent: RADT2601, RADT2611) (3 credits: 2 lecture/1 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
For this first procedures course students will be introduced to the terminology of positioning, equipment used and basic radiographic and technical factors that affect the exposure. Introductory and general anatomy will be presented and specific procedures of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, upper extremity from hand through shoulder girdle and lower extremity from foot through hip will be covered. Pediatric radiographic positioning will be explored. Labs will enable the student to become familiar with positioning using the x-ray machine. Mobile, trauma and surgical radiographic positioning will be presented. Principles of radiation safety and emphasis on protection of the technologist and patient will be stressed. Radiographic images will be evaluated for anatomy and positioning. The student will also be oriented to the clinical practice setting. (Prerequisite: Admission to the radiography program) (Prerequisite or Concurrent: RADT2601, RADT2605) (5 credits: 2 lecture/3 laboratory)
-
9.00 Credits
For this course, the student will be assigned to a hospital or clinic 36 hours per week for 12 weeks. The assignment will be day shifts only, and at the same clinical site for the entire semester. During this assignment the student will learn clinical radiography on patients of all ages and complete competencies in radiography of the chest, abdomen, upper limb, shoulder girdle, lower limb proximal femur, pelvic girdle, the alimentary canal, urinary system, and general fluoroscopy procedures. The student will practice manipulating technical factors and producing digital images and will provide direct patient care to include radiation protection for the patient and self. The student may be assigned to rotations in trauma, surgery, and fluoroscopy. The student will be supervised directly by the program assigned clinical instructor and indirectly by the programs clinical coordinator. (Prerequisites: RADT2601, RADT2605, RADT2611) (9 Credits: 0 lecture/0 lab/9 OJT)
