3.00 Credits
This algebra-based course is designed to provide students with the basic physical principles needed to successfully function in the radiologic and imaging sciences. Students apply principles and laws that govern the SI system of measurement, matter, energy, basic mechanics, wave properties, electricity, magnetism, the electromagnetic spectrum, radiation, and atomic interactions. Three hours of lecture per week. Cross-listed as HLTK 1540. Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL 0810 and MATH 0930, or equivalent placement test scores.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of RDTK 1503. This course is designed to introduce the student to the anatomy and positioning of additional radiographic examinations. Specifically, the student learns and develops positioning skills for the shoulder girdle, lower extremity, pelvis, entire spine, sternum, ribs, portables, trauma, and reviews geriatric and pediatric radiography. The student also demonstrates competency in the anatomy, positioning, and radiographic demonstration of the gastrointestinal (alimentary canal) system, the genitourinary system. Students complete I.V. training and identify and describe the characteristics of various contrast media, radiologic pharmaceuticals, contrast reactions, and the responsibilities of the radiographer in such situations. Prerequisite: Completion of RDTK 1503.
-
1.00 Credits
A course to be taken concurrently with RDTK 1583, which allows the simulated application of the principles learned in RDTK 1583 and film critique. The student radiographer becomes proficient at exposing, developing, and critiquing radiographs of the shoulder, lower extremity, pelvis, entire spine, sternum, and ribs in the campus lab. Students also perform gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and biliary procedures in a competent manner through simulated applications. Prerequisite: Completion of RDTK 1503. Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in RDTK 1583.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides clinical experience in the radiology department and is to be taken during the Spring I semester. Students refine positioning and critique skills learned in RDTK 1503, RDTK 1583, and RDTK 1584. Under supervision in the clinical setting, students will be able to competently perform routine diagnostic imaging of the chest, abdomen, extremities, and spines. Students will be expected to pass a competency-based imaging test at the end of the semester. Prerequisites: Completion of RDTK 1503.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, students outline the physical theories of X-ray production and the atomic interactions which take place during the radiologic image acquisition process. Students evaluate radiographic images and predict the effects that various technical factors, including equipment, technique factors (i.e. mAs and kVp), accessory devices, and image receptor systems have upon radiographic image qualities and patient dose. Prerequisite: Completion of RDTK 1503. Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in RDTK 1583, RDTK 1584, and RDTK 1611.
-
1.00 Credits
Students demonstrate and experiment with the effects of various technical factors, accessories, and receptor systems on radiographic image qualities. Through laboratory experiences, students use the equipment and measuring devices available in the energized lab, evaluate collected data, and apply the concepts covered in RDTK 1610. Prerequisite: Completion of RDTK 1503. Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in RDTK 1610.
-
3.00 Credits
Students investigate the types and sources of radiation, outlining radiation's biological effects on atoms, cells, and human populations at various doses and delivery methods. Students describe the United States governmental regulations regarding radiation and practice effective radiation protection and measurement methods for patients and occupational personnel while in a medical setting. Prerequisite: Completion of ZOO 2025 or instructor approval, and acceptance into the Radiography program.
-
3.00 Credits
Students are provided with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to perform invasive radiographic procedures of gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary (GU), biliary, and female reproductive systems, as well as arthrography, myelography. The course covers radiographic anatomy, positioning techniques, and image analysis of these exams. Students become familiar with the safe usage of stationary and mobile fluoroscopic equipment in a surgical setting. The basic concepts of bone densitometry (DXA) will also be introduced. This course is offered in the summer semester.
-
1.00 Credits
Students simulate application of the principles learned in RDTK 1683 by positioning, exposing, and analyzing radiographs of gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary (GU), biliary, and female reproductive systems, as well as arthrography and myelography. Students learn to navigate a sterile environment by safely preparing supplies and operating fluoroscopic equipment using aseptic technique. The student pays an additional lab fee. This course is offered in the summer semester.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a clinical experience in the radiology department. The course is to be taken during Summer Session I. Students refine positioning skills previously learned and positioning learned in RDTK 1683. Under supervision in the clinical setting, the student will be able to competently perform routine diagnostic imaging of extremity, spines, chest, and abdominal work. The student will be expected to pass a competency-based imaging test at the end of the semester. Prerequisite: Completion of RDTK 1503.
