1 10.5 3.5 This first course in clinical practice introduces the student to exams performed in the Radiology departments of the affiliate hospitals. Emphasis is placed on patient contact as students are instructed and supervised in the performance of actual x-ray examinations of the extremities, chest, and pelvis. Attention is also directed toward the organization of the radiology department - examination priorities, patient preparation, processing and archiving of x-ray images, etc. Weekly lectures/lab seminars are also conducted on campus in addition to the assigned clinical hours. Offered: Fall Prerequisite: Admission to Radiologic Technology program Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
4.00 Credits
This course presents additional concepts of x-ray physics and their relationship to the quality of the resultant radiograph. The properties of density, contrast, detail and distortion are analyzed extensively with emphasis on the factors that control and influence them. This includes such topics as screen/film combinations, grid usage, effects of collimation, processing, etc. The role these factors play in radiation exposure and protection is also emphasized. Offered: Spring Prerequisite: Admission to Radiologic Technology program Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable

4.00 Credits
This course places major emphasis on the radiographic demonstration of human anatomy. Radiographs are critiqued to determine the best methods of demonstrating the anatomy of interest, noting differences in examination procedures for adult versus pediatric patients. Pathological conditions and their relevance to the performance of such procedures are discussed as applicable. The chemical composition and recommended usage of various types of contrast medias are also covered. Offered: Spring Prerequisite: Admission to Radiologic Technology program Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
5.00 Credits
This second practicum stresses the development of competency in performing general examinations and basic fluoroscopic procedures. Students will also begin to develop a better understanding of the factors that influence radiographic quality as they practically apply the exposure principles learned in their theory courses. A two-hour weekly positioning seminar is conducted in addition to the assigned clinical hours. Offered: Spring Prerequisite: Admission to Radiologic Technology program Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
2.50 Credits
This 10-week course introduces Limited Radiography graduates with advanced standing admission to the AAS program to additional procedures done in a hospital setting. The course covers radiography of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, the bilary and urinary systems, and the bony thorax and mammary glands. Additional topics include patient preparation and procedural modifications based on patient age and physical condition. Offered: Summer Prerequisite: Admission to Radiologic Technology program Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
