RDTK 2915 MRI Clinical Education II (13.5LB/week,3CR) Clinical education involves a practical learning experience in the patient care environment. Students participate in pre-scheduled time periods and practice their MRI skills in a hospital or clinic setting. Students will be under the supervision of an experienced MRI technologist. Emphasis will be placed on equipment utilization, exposure techniques, patient care, evaluation of MR procedures, evaluation image quality, MR safety practices, contrast administration, positioning protocols and image acquisition. A specified number of clinical exam competencies will be required. Prerequisite: RDTK 1945.
-
3.00 Credits
RDTK 2920 MRI Procedures II (3L,3CR) This content provides the student with imaging techniques related to the musculoskeletal system, upper and lower extremities and vacular systems. The course will also present detailed content covering MRI pediatric procedures and specialized MR imaging exams to include: Magnetic resonance angiography, MR arthrography, and fMRI.The content covers specific application, coils that are available and their use, considerations in the scan sequences, specific choices in the protocols (e.g., slice thickness, phase direction and flow compensation), and positioning criteria. Anatomical structures and the plane that best demonstrates anatomy are discussed as well as signal characteristics of normal and abnormal structures. Content outlines the critical criteria relevant to acquiring high-quality images of various anatomical regions. Due to different considerations for the various regions in the body, imaging protocols vary. The student will study the variations in imaging parameters for specific body regions and the resultant effect on signal characteristics and the anatomy represented. Evaluation criteria for determining the quality of images provides MR technologists with a better understanding of what constitutes a high-quality image. In a competency-based educational system, this content is completed prior to competency examinations. Pathologies associated with the areas discussed in this course will be reviewed. Prerequisites: RDTK 1950.
-
3.00 Credits
RDTK 2925 MRI Principles II: Instrumentation and Imaging (3L,3CR) This unit is designed to provide the student with a comprehensive overview of MR pulse sequences, image formation and image contrast. Pulse sequences include spin echo, inversion recovery, echo planar, parallel imaging and spectroscopy. In addition, tissue characteristics, contrast agents and post processing techniques are covered. This course provides the student with knowledge of the parameters and imaging options used to create MR images. In addition, the content introduces quality assurance measures used in maintaining image quality. Prerequisite: RDTK 1955.
-
2.00 Credits
RDTK 2930 Transition from Student to Radiographer (2L,2CR) Provides the advanced student technologist an opportunity to review previously learned radiologic material and effectively prepare for the national certification examination. Resume preparation, interviewing skills and professional organization participation will be included. Continuing personal and professional growth will be emphasized in this course. Prerequisite: RDTK 2810.
