1.00 Credits
An introduction to radiographer standards that promote professional conduct. Studies involve patients' rights and the respective role of the radiographer, including introductory law in the radiologic sciences, elements of malpractice, and causes of actions. Employment issues, contracts, litigation process, and the radiographer's responsibility in health care delivery are also discussed. 1 credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This unit provides students with the basic concepts of patient care, including consideration for the physical and psychological needs of the patient and family. Routine and emergency patient care procedures are described as well as infection control procedures utilizing universal precautions. The role of the radiographer in patient education is identified. This also includes a systematic study of radiographic contrast agents as they apply to specific regions and systems of the body. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Recognition of medical terminology elements: prefixes, suffixes, and root words in singular and plural forms; spelling of words classified as homonyms; terms applied to special examinations; interpretation of abbreviations and symbols; correct pronunciation of medical terms; terms associated with radiographic positions, landmarks, and all systems of the body. 3 credits.
-
2.00 Credits
Explains at a more advanced level the need for radiation protection, biological effects of ionizing radiation, patient protection, personnel radiation monitoring, radiation measuring instrumentation, applicable laws, and protection in related fields (nuclear medicine and therapy). 2 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
These courses provide the skills to perform radiographic examinations. Body positions, positioning terms, positioning aids, contrast media, and their application to positioning are discussed. Methods of producing quality radiographs are discussed. Laboratory and clinical application of theoretical and practical concepts are performed where applicable. Areas studied include the skeletal system and major systems. Methods employed for pediatric and geriatric examinations are studied and discussed. RS 106: 3 credits. Fall semester; RS 107: 3 credits. Spring semester; RS 108: 3 credits. Fall semester.
-
2.00 Credits
This course acquaints the student with the specialized and highly technical procedures in radiography, the equipment and the contrast media used, and the preparation and general indications for each examination. 2 credits.
-
1.00 Credits
These units provide the student with knowledge necessary to evaluate radiographic examination and identify and recognize their diagnostic qualities. Film evaluation combines knowledge and skills from multiple didactic units, laboratory assignments, and clinical evaluation. Areas that influence evaluation of radiographs are discussed. RS 110: 1 credit, fall semester; RS 111: 2 credits, spring semester; RS 112: 2 credits, fall semester; RS 113: 2 credits, spring semester.
-
9.00 Credits
This course provides the student with the knowledge of basic physics, mechanics, structure of matter, basic electricity, magnetism, electromagnetism, electrical physics, radiation physics, and basic x-ray circuitry. Information regarding x-ray production, xray interaction with matter, aspects of emission spectrum, and units of measurement is provided. Also included is a review of fundamental principles of mathematics essential for mastering various phases of radiologic physics and medical imaging. 9 credits.
-
1.00 Credits
These courses acquaint the student with film identification systems available in radiography and stress the medico-legal value of proper identification on the radiographs. They also provide comprehensive analysis of the factors that govern and influence the production of the radiograph and the direct effect of these factors on radiographic quality and patient dose. Students practice manipulating the prime exposure factors by completing problems and radiographic experiments. Stress on the purpose and importance of technique formation and the various types of technique stems. Each course is 1 credit. RS 117, fall semester; RS 118, spring semester; RS 119, fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A course designed so that the student can understand all components involved in film processing. 1 credit.
