1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Independent study open to students who manifest a desire for research in the area of the student's special interest under the guidance of the music faculty. (Offered upon request) 1-3 credits
-
2.00 Credits
In the Senior year, in place of an elective, music majors will prepare for a recital in their applied concentration. The Senior Project will be a public performance attended by a jury. (Offered as required) 2 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 295) This course is designed to provide the student with a fundamental overview to the field of Nuclear Medicine Technology. The course is intended to be a basic study of the terminology, radiotracers, instrumentation, physics and radiation safety involved in Nuclear Medicine. It will allow the student to have a general knowledge of the activities of a Nuclear Medicine Department, to complement their first clinical experiences. The Nuclear Medicine Code of Ethics as well as the history of Nuclear Medicine will be discussed. Basic quality assurance/quality control measures will be introduced. The basic techniques of imaging procedures will be identified by presenting a section on Radionuclide Angiography. This course will prepare the student to advance to the Nuclear Medicine I, II and III level courses and must be taken in the Fall of year one in the major. (Offered Fall) 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 100) A comprehensive study of atomic and nuclear physics as it relates to nuclear medicine. Encompasses all basic concepts of atomic and nuclear structure and modes of decay along with the mathematics necessary to test and evaluate these principles. A radiation safety section pertaining directly to operational nuclear medicine is integrated into this program to familiarize and train the student technologist in the proper methods of handling radioactive material and required radiation safety practices. Prerequisite: CHE 109, PHY 160, NMT 199. (Offered Spring) 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 101) Students study medical terminology and basic nursing skills necessary to function as technologists. Venipuncture techniques will be demonstrated and practiced. Medical and legal considerations and ethics are discussed. An emphasis is placed on the concept of the patient's mental condition during hospitalization and describes anxiety and other emotional states and their manifestation in different individuals. Patient care issues and the problems of dealing with critically and terminally ill patients are discussed. The course includes basic life support and techniques of C.P.R. including lectures, demonstration and actual participation leading to certification. (Offered Spring) 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 103) This course begins with a study of the basic concepts of inorganic, organic and biochemistry. Specific topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding and reactions, and use of periodic tables. This introduction leads into a comprehensive study of radiopharmaceutical methodologies, mathematical equations, basic properties of radioisotopes, production of radionuclides and an in-depth discussion of generator systems and tracer principles. Additional topics of discussion will include characterization and classification of diagnostic and therapeutic radioisotopes, radiopharmaceutical preparation, biodistribution, recordkeeping, storage and quality assurance of medical tracers. Prerequisite: NMT 199, CHE 109, MAT 115. (Offered Spring) 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 115) Students will become familiar with the basic systems which detect radiation and understand how these detectors are integrated into imaging systems. The basics of computer science will be applied in order to understand image formation, storage and processing. The importance of a good quality assurance program for diagnostic equipment will be presented. Specifics related to the quality control of nuclear medicine devices should be mastered. The importance of new techniques such as computed tomography will be introduced. Prerequisite: NMT 199, MAT 115. (Offered Fall) 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 121) Nuclear medicine technologists are exposed to radiation in their normal working environments. It is important that the technologists understand the concepts of radiation safety in order to maintain a safe working environment for themselves as well as the patients and other non-radiation co-workers. This course will review basic radiation terminologies. Topics in Radiation Biology will include qualitative and quantitative affects on the human body following exposure to various amounts and types of ionizing radiation, the potential harmful effects of radiation and the benefits of the medical uses of radiation. Regulations pertaining to the use of radionuclides such as the various governing agencies, guidelines for radiation protection and licensing will be discussed. Students will become acquainted with procedures for personnel and environmental monitoring, fundamentals of emergency management and decontamination techniques, proper methods of receiving, storing, disposal and maintaining inventory records of radioactive materials. Basic radiation exposure reduction principles will be stressed throughout the course. Prerequisite: NMT 200. (Offered Fall) 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 120) The primary goal of the course is to provide the student with complete exposure to all wet lab procedures they may encounter in Nuclear Medicine. In addition, a knowledge of basic laboratory principals will be taught. The second part of the course will introduce the student to imaging procedures done in Nuclear Medicine. Prerequisites: BIO 120, MAT 115, NMT 199. Corequisite: BIO 121. (Offered Spring) 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly NMT 130) This course is designed to provide the student with knowledge of Nuclear Medicine Technology and Techniques. This will be presented in relationship to human anatomy and physiology. The course is intended to be a comprehensive study of imaging techniques in regard to diagnostic imaging agents and their interaction with human physiology. The organ responses to various radiopharmaceuticals will be identified. Normal and pathological responses will be demonstrated. The organ systems to be studied will include: the central nervous system, endocrine, respiratory and cardiovascular systems, the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, skeletal and hematopoietic systems. Radionuclide therapy will also be introduced. This course must be taken in the summer of year one in the major. Prerequisite: NMT 205. (Offered Summer) 3 credits
