4.00 Credits
DMI 131 is the first of three sequential courses covering patient care and procedures topics. Students will be introduced to radiographic terminology and positioning techniques of the chest, abdomen, upper extremity and lower extremity. The course covers application of image production factors and radiation protection standards. Students learn patient care skills in monitoring vital signs, care of medical equipment, body mechanics, patient transfer, infection control and precautionary techniques with respect to the radiology patient. The course also includes Clinical Objective Evaluation (COE) of respective patient care activities and radiographic procedures.
Prerequisite:
ENGL 101 (Grade of C or Better)
Corequisite:
DMI 105, DMI 119, DMI 181, and DMI 196
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of DMI 131 and includes radiographic terminology and positioning techniques of the humerus, shoulder girdle, femur, pelvic girdle and spine. Students will continue to learn positioning skills in order to radiograph the skeletal anatomy and physiologic systems of the human body. This includes an introduction to fluoroscopic procedures. In laboratory sessions, students will apply materials presented in lecture and practice the skills necessary for Clinical Objective Evaluations (COE). Patient care topics will include surgical asepsis, venipuncture, pharacology, medical emergencies, and culturally diverse communication skills.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 109 (Grade of C or Better)
Corequisite:
DMI 106, DMI 120, DMI 182, and DMI 197
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides a detailed study of the bone structure of the upper and lower extremities, shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle and bony thorax. Students will be introduced to radiographic pathology topics, including pathological conditions of the respiratory, circulatory, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary systems. Students will also present case studies of pathological conditions from radiographic clinical procedures. Coreqs: DMI 105, DMI 119, DMI 131, and DMI 196.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of DMI 181 and provides a detailed study of the bone structure of the vertebral column and skull. Students will continue their study of pathology topics, including pathological conditions of the skeletal, urinary, reproductive, endocrine and nervous systems. Students will also present case studies of pathological conditions from radiographic clinical procedures. Coreqs: DMI 106, DMI 120, DMI 132, and DMI 197.

1.00 Credits
During Clinical Education I, students are introduced to the radiology department and hospital environment. Students begin the course by observing department routines and procedures. After classroom and laboratory instruction, students move into a more active role, asisting and performing patient care activities and imaging procedures under appropriate supervision. Students will report to clinical on Tuesday and Thursday for 14 weeks. Clinical rotations include general inpatient, general outpatient, emergency room/trauma radiography, fluoroscopy, orthopedic radiography, and portable radiography. Each rotation will be two and three weeks (4-6 days) in length.

1.00 Credits
During Clinical Education II, students become more familiar with the radiology department and hospital environment. Students continue to observe department routines and procedures relevant to classroom and laboratory activities. After classroom and laboratory instruction, students move into a more active role, assisting and performing patient care activities and imaging procedures under appropriate supervision. Students will report to clinical on Tuesday and Thursday for 14 weeks. Clinical rotations include general inpatient, general outpatient, emergency room/trauma radiography, fluoroscopy, orthopedic radiography, portable radiography, and surgical radiography. Each rotation will be two to three weeks (4-6 days) in length.
-
1.00 Credits
During Clinical Education III, students will gain a more confident persona when performing patient care activities and imagining procedures learned in previous semesters. Students will report to clinical Monday through Thursday for 7 weeks. Clinical rotations include general inpatient, general outpatient, emergency room/trauma radiography, fluoroscopy, orthopedic radiography, portable radiography and surgical radiography. Each rotation will be one to two weeks in length (4-8 days). Additionally, students will begin introductory rotations through the advanced imaging modalities of CT, DEXA, IR, Mammography, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy, and Ultrasound. Each intro rotation will be one-week in length, and students will spend no more than two out of the seven weeks in advanced modalilities. Preqs: DMI 106, DMI 120, DMI 132, DMI 182 and DMI 197 all with a grade of C or better.
-
1.00 Credits
During Clinical Education IV, students are considered level II and will begin working more independently under appropriate supervision when performing studies in which they have been deemed competent. Students will continue to refine skills in patient care activities and imaging procedures. Students will report to clinical Monday through Thursday for 7 weeks. Clinical rotations include general inpatient, general outpatient, emergency room/trauma radiography, fluoroscopy, orthopedic radiography, portable radiography and surgical radiography. Each rotation will be one to two weeks in length (4-8 days). Additionally, students will continue introductory rotations through the advanced imagining modalities of CT, DEXA, IR, Mammograph, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy, and Ultrasound. Each intro rotation will be one-week in length, and students will spend no more than two out of the seven weeks in advanced modalities.
Prerequisite:
DMI 198 (Grade of C or Better)
