-
3.00 Credits
The student learns to perform routine radiographic procedures of the bony thorax, pelvis, hip and spring. This will be accomplished by presentation of the required anatomy and discussion and demonstration of the radiographic positioning. The student will be assessed on competency on performances of the procedures.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to impart an understanding of the components, principles and operation of digital imaging systems found in diagnostic radiology. Factors that impact image acquisition, display, archiving and retrieval are discussed. Guidelines for selecting exposure factors and evaluating images within a digital system assist students to bridge between film-based and digital imaging systems. Principles of digital system quality assurance and maintenance are presented.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the student with a comprehensive study of radiation physics covering atomic structure, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic radiation, electric motors, operators, transformers, generators, rectification and the x-ray tube. Also includes an in depth study of the production of x-radiation and it?s interaction with matter.
-
2.00 Credits
Physical principles underlying both general physics and radiologic technology, with special attention given to the electrical circuitry of equipment required to generate x-radiation, the emission spectrum, nature, and behavior of x-radiation, and to principles associated with x-radiation interactions with matter will be covered. 4 hours lecture per week. Prerequisites: RDS 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 309. Corequisites: RDS 305, 306, 308, 309, 405.
-
2.00 Credits
Continuation of clinical education rotations in general radiography and fluoroscopy occur in this course. Observation and application of the principles and procedures introduced in general radiography and fluoroscopy are on-going throughout the course with opportunities for the student to perform initial competencies in the areas of chest, abdomen, upper extremities and shoulder girdle.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of clinical experience rotations give the student the opportunity to gain knowledge and practice in performing the radiographic procedures learned in the classroom. The student will continue to gain confidence in their skills. The student is required to demonstrate competency in lower extremities, bony thorax, pelvis and spine.
-
2.00 Credits
Students participate in clinical education in an affiliate hospital performing procedures in accordance with the clinical competency evaluation system. Beginning rotations occur at the front desk, transportation, general radiography and fluoroscopy areas of the department.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Physics I. This section will deal with the principles of operation for radiographic equipment and the electrical circuitry.
-
3.00 Credits
This basis of ethics and ethical behavior will be introduced, as well as, solving ethical dilemmas found in the clinical setting. An introduction to legal terminology and concepts will also be presented. Informed consent and proper documentation is presented. Human diversity is addressed with the idea of promoting better understanding of patients and their families in order to provide better patient care.
-
3.00 Credits
A culminating course for students in the Radiologic Technologic Program designed to prepare students for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examination. Preparation for this examination is a crucial part of the Radiologic Technology program. Review of all five sections of the examination will be reviewed utilizing learning aids from all previously taught courses in the professional curriculum as well as two recent editions of Radiography Prep workbooks. Students enrolled in this capstone course will review the general education and science courses including professional development and lifelong learning as it relates to healthcare. Research, image analysis and review of case studies will also be discussed.
