  • NUC 251: Clinical Theory and Procedures I

    5.00 Credits
    Columbus State Community College

    This course sequence introduces to the student how a diagnostic study is completed from start to finish. Pre-study preparations will be emphasized including scheduling of patients, choosing the proper radiopharmaceutical, basic patient preparations, and providing patient care and maintaining communication. General study procedures will then be introduced by reviewing the applicable anatomy/physiology and methods of pharmaceutical localization, discussing the performance of imaging procedures including selecting the proper camera or instrument, introducing proper patient and camera positioning, utilizing imaging techniques and methodologies, and performing data manipulation, image processing, and image critique. Adult/pediatric considerations and procedures will be discussed.

  • NUC 260: Clinical Practicum I

    2.00 Credits
    Columbus State Community College

    In this first clinical practicum, the student will rotate through clinical hospitals and private offices and, while accompanied by a registered Nuclear Medicine Technologist, will become familiar with the care and positioning of the patient and camera. Proficiency requirements are completed using a competency-based format. Students are required to complete a portion of the “Required and Elective Procedures” list that will be reviewed at the completion of each practicum course. This “Required and Elective Procedures” list will need to be 100% completed by the end of Clinical Practicum V. A special form will be utilized to allow the student to list how the study was conducted. This same form will be utilized in the “Projects in Nuclear Medicine” class. Technologist film critique and physician interpretation are incorporated into the form to provide a correlation of all factors that comprise a finished nuclear medicine image(s) to include an analysis of the structure or organ that was imaged/counted, patient positioning, radiation protection, and date processing. A one hour weekly seminar is included in this course.

  • NUC 270: Case Studies I

    1.00 Credits
    Columbus State Community College

    This course will allow students to critique how a nuclear medicine study was conducted and to understand differential diagnosis based on that study. Cases presented will come from the archives of the clinical sites or the Society of Nuclear Medicine either in the form of films to be shown on a view box, computer display, or from a CD-ROM that can be viewed off site if necessary. The students will also present interesting cases. Students will be responsible for filling out a critique and diagnosis form for each case reviewed.
