3.00 Credits
This course will present fluoroscopy technology, and digital radiography to the student. This will include digital systems, digital image processing, image quality, and image storage and management. This course will introduce the student to the higher level principles of radiographic exposure and setting appropriate technical factors. Students acquire knowledge of quality management in radiology and apply quality control tests to determine the causes of image problems including equipment malfunctions and procedural errors. Included also are aspects of quality control to external x-ray beam evaluation, repeat rates and protective apparel. Laboratory exercises will emphasize the theories learned. (Prerequisites: RADT2601, RADT2605, RADT2611, RADT2617) (Co-requisite: RADT2625) (3 credits: 2 lecture/1 lab)
-
1.00 Credits
This online course introduces the radiography student to disease processes and their effect on the human body. Radiographic pathologic correlation is emphasized. All of the major body systems are presented. Researching and writing a paper is a requirement for this class. (Prerequisites: RADT2601, RADT2605, RADT2611, RADT2617, RADT2625) (1 credit: 1 lecture/0 lab)
-
12.00 Credits
For this practicum, students will be assigned 36 hrs/wk to a hospital/clinic. Assignments will be mainly days but may include 2 weeks of evenings and 2 weekend shifts. Student will learn clinical radiography and complete competencies of complete vertebral column, bony thorax, skull, facial bones, and sinuses and continue to learn digital imaging and provide direct patient care. Students may be assigned rotations in general diagnostic radiology, mobile, trauma, surgery, and fluoroscopy. Students will continue to practice and improve all positioning skills. Learning procedures on geriatric and pediatric patients, understanding and operating radiographic image acquisition and processing equipment in terms of department protocol, using critical-thinking skills associated with patient care and radiation protection will be emphasized. Students will be supervised directly by clinical instructor and indirectly by program faculty.(Prerequisites: RADT2617) (12 credits: 0 lecture/0 lab/12 OJT)
-
3.00 Credits
This remedial course consists of content to prepare the student to reenter the radiography technical program sequence starting the spring semester of 2nd year. The student will maintain competency of the didactic content from the 1st year fall and summer term radiography didactic courses and the Clinical Practicum 1 and 2 courses through various assessment strategies which may include written, online and practical testing in the radiography laboratory. (Prerequisites: BIOL 2512, RADT2600, RADT2605, RADT2610, RADT2615, RADT2620, RADT2625, RADT2630, RADT2635, RADT2640 or RADT2641) (Co-requisite: MATH2515) (3 credits: 1 lecture/2 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
This course presents the principles of radiation protection and radiobiology. Topics include an overview of radiation physics, units of measure, radiosensitivity and response, and understanding the radiographers role in utilizing safe radiation practices for patients, personnel, and the public. Radiation health and safety requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies, accreditation agencies, and health care organizations will also be addressed. Specific topics: cell biology in terms of early and late radiation effects; principles of radiation interaction with living systems; radiation effects on biological molecules and organisms; factors affecting biological response; and acute and chronic effects of radiation. (Prerequisites: RADT2541, RADT2635) (2 credits: 2 lecture/0 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
This course prepares students for the national certification examination in radiography offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Review of all program content including radiographic imaging and positioning curriculum, radiation protection and patient care will be covered. Preparing the student for the job market with resume writing, interviewing, and job search/social networking skills will also be part of this class. It will be delivered in a hybrid format to allow students to return to clinical during the last 4 weeks of the semester. An on-line component includes registry practice tests by Corectec. (Prerequisites: RADT2605, RADT2617, RADT2630, RADT2642) (Co-requisite: RADT2620, RADT2650) (2 credits: 2 lecture/0 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
This elective online course introduces the basic principles of computed tomography (CT) imaging and sectional anatomy. History of CT, current equipment and practices, radiation protection specific to CT, and anatomic appearance of various structures in a cross-sectional reference will be discussed. Specific emphasis will be on methods of dose reduction to support the Image Gently campaign. Images from various modalities will be used to demonstrate radiographic cross-sectional appearance. This course will be a basic CT course with emphasis on CT registry exam content. (Prerequisites or concurrent: BIOL2512, RADT 2601, RADT2605, RADT2611 or graduate of associate degree or certificate program in medical imaging/therapy or radiography - official transcript or current ARRT credential review required.) (2 credits: 2 lecture/0 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
This online course introduces radiography students to imaging modalities beyond diagnostic radiology. There will be an emphasis of computed tomography (CT) and cross-sectional anatomy. Other modalities include MRI, mammography, ultrasonography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, bone densitometry, and cardiac/vascular interventional radiology. During completion of this course, students will be able to observe/participate in these special areas during clinical practicum if it does not interfere with diagnostic radiology experiences or on non-scheduled days. (Prerequisites: RADT2601, RADT2605, RADT2611) (Prerequisite or concurrent: RADT2617) (2 credits: 1 lecture/1 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
For this practicum, students will be assigned 36 hrs/week to a hospital or clinic the last 4 weeks of the semester. Assignment will include days, evenings or weekends if the mandatory 2 weeks of evenings and 2 weekends have not been completed. Students will continue to perfect their practice in digital imaging and provide direct patient care to include radiation protection. Student may be assigned to rotations in general, mobile, trauma, surgery, and fluoroscopy. Optional experience in CT, MRI, or other modalities may be used if available. Improvement in affective skills, radiographic processing, patient care, radiation protection, will be emphasized. Students will be supervised directly by clinical instructor on site and indirectly by program clinical coordinator. Preparation for the national certification exam offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) will be continued in this course. (Prerequisites: RADT2617, RADT2641) (3 credits: 0 lecture/0 lab/3 OJT)
-
2.00 Credits
This special modality course will cover patient education and assessment, anatomy, physiology, pathology, positioning and compression of the breast. Emphasis will be on the screening projections. A second component of the course is presentation of the physical principles of mammography to include unique aspects of the machine, image processing, dose issues, mammography technique, image evaluation, breast imaging procedures (including implant imaging) and quality control/ assurance techniques. Both analog and digital film acquisition will be applied. The Mammography Quality Standards Act will be discussed. (Prerequisite: RADT 2635) (Prerequisite or Concurrent: Graduate of associate degree or certificate program in medical imaging/therapy or radiography [official transcript or current ARRT credential review required]) (2 credits: 2 lecture/0 lab)
