3.00 Credits
Introduces radiographic positioning and describes in detail the routine positions required to demonstrate the chest, abdomen, extremities, and portions of the pelvic and shoulder girdle. The laboratory component provides the opportunity for students to radiograph the phantom and under simulated conditions, practice various procedures that have been presented in the classroom. (3 lec, 1 lab) Prerequisite: Admission to the Medical Radiography Program
-
3.00 Credits
Describes in detail the routine positions required to demonstrate the spinal column, thoracic cage, portions of the pelvic girdle, and all parts of the skull. The laboratory component provides the opportunity for students to radiograph the phantom and under simulated conditions, practice various procedures that have been presented in the classroom. (3 lec, 1 lab) Prerequisite: MRT 111
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces procedures requiring the use of contrast media, fluoroscopy, and portable radiographic equipment. (1 lec, 1 lab) Prerequisite: Admission to the Medical Radiography Program
-
1.00 Credits
Continues instruction in procedures requiring the use of contrast media and fluoroscopy and introduces specialized radiographic examinations. (1 lec, 0 lab) Prerequisite: MRT 117
-
2.00 Credits
Provides the student with a thorough understanding of the theory of x-ray production, x-ray interactions within tissue, selection of technical factors, and correlates this knowledge with practical application. The student will also develop a knowledge of film processing. (2 lec, 0 lab) Prerequisite: Admission to the Medical Radiography Program
-
2.00 Credits
Expands on the variables that affect the radiographic image. Understanding of these critical factors allows for adaptation for procedures involving pediatric patients, mobile radiography patients, and atypical adult patients. The student will also develop knowledge of digital imaging and tomography. (2 lec, 0 lab) Prerequisite: MRT 121
-
1.00 Credits
Presents a general study of medical terminology, focusing on definition by analysis of components, with emphasis on terminology encountered in the practice of medical radiography. (1 lec, 0 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Discusses the radiographer's role in caring for the needs of the ill or injured patient undergoing radiographic examination. Acquaints the student with the principles of medical ethics and the responsibilities of the allied health professional. Introduces body mechanics, medical aseptic technique, first aid, observation of vital signs, management of medical emergencies in the radiology department, and basic care of special and surgical patients. (2 lec, 0 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Introduces students to the clinical area. The lecture portion of the course acquaints students with hospital, department, and program policies and procedures, as well as familiarizes them with image evaluation, and provides basic instruction in radiation protection. The clinical portion acquaints the student with room preparation, body mechanics, patient positioning, radiographic procedures, imaging processing, and interaction with patients. Students begin the semester by observing procedures and assisting the radiographer with aspects of the procedure that have been presented in the classroom. Clinical rotations correlate with didactic education and focus on basic procedures involving radiographic positioning of the chest, abdomen and extremities; basic bedside radiography; fluoroscopy; body mechanics; medical ethics and patient care; image processing; departmental record-keeping; and medical computer usage. Students are exposed to the operating room to introduce them to radiography in a sterile environment. Students begin competency testing on basic procedures such as chest, abdomen, hand, and wrist. (2 lec, 14 lab) Prerequisite: Admission to Medical Radiography Program
-
5.00 Credits
Encourages students to take a more active role in basic radiographic procedures, emphasizing technique-selection, radiographic positioning, explanation of procedures to the patients, and clerical tasks associated with radiography. Students begin taking a participatory role in operating room procedures and neonatal special care radiography. The scope of procedures expands to include the thoracic cage, pelvic girdle, spine, and all parts of the skull. In fluoroscopy assignments, students take a more active role in gastrointestinal and barium enema procedures, and expand their participation in procedures such as myelography, cystography, arthrography, and endoscopic studies. Students continue competency testing in basic procedures such as stretcher chest, pediatric chest, extremities, pelvis and lumbar spine. To verify continued competency, students are retested over a competency exam successfully passed the previous semester. (1 lec, 15 lab) Prerequisites: MRT 111, MRT 117, MRT 121, MRT 161; Pre- or Co-requisite: MRT 131
