Emphasis equally on radiation interaction at the molecular, cellular and organic levels. Three hours of lecture. Prerequisite: RADS 200. Corequisites: RADS 207, RADS 206, RADS 222.
-
2.00 Credits
Rotation to new clinical site again affords opportunities for students to perfect skills in which competence has been demonstrated and develop additional skills completing new competency procedures, focusing on fulfilling competency requirements necessary to satisfy graduation requirements. Minimum competency requirements are listed in the course syllabus. Twenty-four hours per week. Prerequisite: RADS 200. Corequisites: RADS 206, RADS 207, RADS 218.
-
2.00 Credits
Students continue perfecting skills in which competence has been demonstrated and finish competency requirements necessary to satisfy graduation requirements. Elective rotations in CT, MRI, cardiovascular-interventional, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy are available after completing all graduation competency requirements. Minimum competency requirements are listed in the course syllabus. Twenty-four hours per week. Prerequisites: RADS 222. Corequisites: RADS 205, RADS 216, and RADS 217.
-
3.00 Credits
Evaluation of routine radiographic and fluoroscopic procedures with and without contrast media for the practicing radiologic technologist. Procedure specificity, sensitivity and cost; ethical issues surrounding modification of physician orders. Critical analysis of acceptance criteria as they impact humane, ethical, financial, and radiation safety aspects of care is explicit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to prepare the certified radiographer to recognize and identify normal and abnormal gross anatomy as demonstrated by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The course is a comprehensive study of evaluation of human anatomy. Anatomy described in anatomical layers to include head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis and extremities.
-
3.00 Credits
Computed Tomography (CT) provides learners with an understanding of the principles and procedures of computed tomography imaging. CT curriculum content includes purpose for the procedure, patient education, examination preparation, orientation and positioning, patient history and assessment, contrast media usage, scout image production, selectable scan parameters, and image filming and archiving. Computed tomography protocols differentiate specific structures, patient symptomology, and pathology. Computed tomography images studied will be reviewed for quality, anatomy and pathology. Computed tomography procedure protocols vary across facilities and are dependent on radiologist preferences.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide the radiographer with the theoretical concepts of Breast Imaging. Main topics include: Breast Anatomy, Physiology and Procedures, Interventional Breast Procedures, Breast Pathology, Equipment and Technical Applications, Digital and CAD, Quality Assurance, Quality Control, MQSA& FDA Accreditation requirements, Modalities for Imaging the Breast, Patient Care and Preparation, Personnel Credentials and Professional Development. *This is not a preparation course for the mammography advanced certification boards.
-
3.00 Credits
A comprehensive course designed to evaluate radiographic systems to ensure consistency in the production of radiographic images. The course includes rationale and benefits of a quality assurance/quality control program, elements of a program, responsibility, education, technical performance, reject/repeat analysis, processor analysis, and monitoring and maintenance of all systems, including test materials, procedures, evaluation of results, and preventive and corrective maintenance. Includes comprehensive quality management and MQSA issues.
