-
1.00 Credits
A three-hour laboratory is correlated with RTCA 126. The students will see demonstrations and be able to practice the radiologic examinations listed in the companion course (RTCA 126). Simulated competency tests will assess performance. Prerequisites: RTCA 116, 119 Corequisite: RTCA 126
-
2.00 Credits
A continuing internship of supervised clinical practicum hours where the student acquires the knowledge and skills relevant to the usage of radiologic methods and techniques. This course focuses on portable/trauma, pediatric, surgical, and non-routine radiography and is correlated with RTCA 133 through demonstrations, practice sessions, and laboratory simulations. This course is competency based. It is recommended that the student enter the course with a functional knowledge of Windows operations for the clinical setting. Prerequisite: RTCA 123 Corequisite: RTCA 133
-
2.00 Credits
A course that includes radiologic examination of the non-routine skeletal procedures, pediatric radiography, the biliary system, and mobile/trauma applications of radiologic technology. Discussions and demonstrations of radiographic image critique will be presented. A typed paper is required for this course. Prerequisites: RTCA 126, 126L
-
2.00 Credits
An introductory study into X-ray generation, including fundamental X-ray generation; radiation protection; control of high voltage and electrical hazards; and methods of rectification. By the end of this course, the student will have received an introduction to the X-ray machine as well as an in-depth knowledge of electricity, magnetism, electromagnetism, electromagnetic radiation, digital imaging concepts, and the structure of the atom. A typed, documented paper is required for this course.
-
2.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental methods of producing high-quality radiographs with a minimum of patient exposure and cost. The course will review the effects of radiation on X-ray film and digital imaging receptors and how intensifying screens, grids, filters, and artifacts can affect the contrast, density, and image quality of the radiograph. Course also includes a comparison of digital and film processes. Knowledge of word processing and spreadsheets is recommended for this course. Prerequisites: RTCA 126
-
2.00 Credits
A course designed to provide advanced skills and knowledge in patient care. The course includes but is not limited to basic pharmacology for radiographers, emergency procedures, venipuncture, patient assessment and monitoring, drug administration, sterile procedures and setups, and basic laboratory values. Functional knowledge of word processing and presentation software such as Power Point are recommended for this course. Prerequisite: RTCA 120, 121
-
3.00 Credits
A continuing internship of supervised clinical practicum hours where the student acquires knowledge and skills relevant to the use of radiologic techniques. This course focuses on mastering routine radiographic procedures covered in previous courses; trauma, surgery, and portable radiography; and semi-special radiologic procedures; course is correlated with RTCA 220. It is recommended that the student enter the course with a functional knowledge of Windows operations for the clinical setting. Prerequisite: RTCA 131; corequisite: RTCA 220
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of Fundamentals of Radiation and Generation I with special emphasis on modern X-ray tubes; processing; X-ray production and interaction with matter; digital imaging applications; radiographic film and recording devices; grids; three-phase generators; basic X-ray circuits; fluoroscopy; and image intensifiers. Prerequisite: RTCA 135
-
3.00 Credits
A study of structural and functional manifestations of diseases that includes pathologic processes of all major anatomic systems and covers developmental, acute, chronic, traumatic, and neoplastic diseases. Discussion will center upon diseases related to imaging sciences. Classes will consist of lectures, discussions, and case presentations to enhance the students' critical thinking skills. Prerequisite: RTCA 133
-
2.00 Credits
A continuation of Radiologic Technology I, II, and III. This course provides the student with a cognitive knowledge of special and semi-special imaging procedures and enables the student to understand and experience them in the clinical setting. Subjects covered include, but are not limited to: angiography, interventional procedures, myelography, arthrography, tomography, computed tomography, digital radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, and examinations of the reproductive system. A typed, documented paper is required for this course. Prerequisites: RTCA 133, 137
