3.00 Credits
RDTK 2935 CT Clinical 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 CT skills in a hospital or clinic setting. Students will be under the supervision of an experienced CT technologist. In this second clinical course students will be expected to perform more advanced procedures in a solo capacity under supervision. Emphasis will be placed on CT technique, selection, patient care, anatomy, pathology, understanding image quality, radiation safety practices, contrast administration, positioning and image acquisition. Post processing techniques will also be included. A specified number of clinical exam competencies will be required. Prerequisite: RDTK 1930.
-
3.00 Credits
RDTK 2941 CT Physics/Instrumentation II (3L,3CR) Content is designed to impart an understanding of the physical principles and instrumentation involved in computed tomography. Physics topics covered include computed tomography systems and operations will be explored with full coverage of radiographic tube configuration, collimator design and function, detector type, characteristics and functions and the CT computer and array processor. CT image processing and display will be examined from data acquisition through post processing and archiving and patient factors related to other elements affecting image quality will be explained, as well as artifact production and reduction and image communication. Prerequisite: RDTK 1925.

3.00 Credits
RDTK 2945 CT Procedures II (3L,3CR) This course covers the anatomy and common pathology associated with computer tomography. The anatomical structures will be demonstrated in the axial, sagittal and coronal imaging planes. Scanning protocols, contrast administration, and contraindications for computer tomography of the pediatric procedures will be covered in depth to include: exam protocol, radiation protection and dose considerations, special patient care issues an dcontrast media and infections. Pediatric exams will cover CT of the head, neck, spine, abdomen, chest, musculoskeletal system, and CT angiography. Special applications in CT will be presented. Specialized CT procedures will include breast imaging, interventional CT studies, CT fluoroscopy, PET, and CT fusion, cardiac scanning, CT angiography, CT guided biopsies, Virtual colonoscopy, brain and transplant studies. Radiation therapy simulation studies will also be discussed. Content provides detailed coverage of procedures of CT imaging. Procedures include, but are not limited to, indications for the procedure, patient education, preparation, orientation and positioning , patient history and assessment, contrast media usage, scout image, selectable scan parameters, filming and archiving of the images. CT procedures will be taught for differentiation of specific structures, patient symptomology and pathology. CT images studied will be reviewed for quality, anatomy and pathology. CT procedures vary from facility to facility and normally are dependent on the preferences of the radiologists. Prerequisite: HLTK 2200, RDTK 1920.
