1.00 Credits
Digital Radiography and PACS is an overview and introduction to Digital Imaging and Computed Radiography at an entry level. It will provide radiography students with information assisting them in the operating of equipment used in the clinical setting and understand the image acquisition guidelines, as well as detailed exposure guidelines and quality control practices to help obtain the best radiographs possible. Image processing, production of clear radiographic images using digital technologies, and working with CR/DR quality workstations and information systems are covered as well as system architecture and the importance of HIPAA laws while accessing information systems. Students will understand why digital imaging works and how they can provide optimal Imaging techniques necessary for patient care through advanced imaging processing and manipulation functions. Prerequisite: RAD 101.
-
3.00 Credits
Content is designed to provide an overview of the principles of radiation protection, including the responsibilities of the radiographer for patients, personnel and the public. Radiation health and safety requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies, accreditation agencies and health care organizations are incorporated. Prerequisite: RAD 101.
-
2.00 Credits
Content is designed and presented to introduce theories of disease causation and the pathophysiologic responses, clinical manifestations, radiographic appearance and management of alterations in body systems. Prerequisite: RAD 101.
-
3.00 Credits
Content and clinical practice experiences are designed for sequential development, application, critical analysis, integration, synthesis and evaluation of concepts and theories in the performance of radiologic procedures. Through structured sequential, competency-based assignments in a clinical setting, concepts of team practice, patient-centered clinical practice and professional development are discussed, examined and evaluated. Clinical practice experiences are designed to provide patient care and assessment, competent performance of radiologic imaging and total quality management. Levels of competency and outcomes measurement ensure the well-being of the patient preparatory to, during and following the radiographic procedure. As the students achieve competency, they begin performing more studies under indirect supervision. Prerequisite: RAD 108.
-
3.00 Credits
Content is designed to provide a knowledge base necessary to perform standard radiographic procedures of the upper spine, skull and facial bones. Gastrointestinal anatomy and imaging are also discussed. Consideration is given to the production of images of optimal diagnostic quality. Laboratory experience is used to complement the didactic portion. Prerequisite: Rad 201.

3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of RAD205, Radiographic Procedures. Content is designed to provide a knowledge base necessary to perform standard radiographic procedures of the skull and facial bones. Fundamentals of special procedures and sterile tray technique will be covered. Consideration will be given to the production of images of optimal diagnostic quality. Other imaging modalities will be discussed. Attention to infection control and technique, and how other imaging procedures accompany diagnostic procedures for overall planning and treatment of the patient. Laboratory experience will be used to complement the didactic portion and is a mandatory accompaniment.

Content is designed to prepare students to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technology Examination. All didactic and clinical information from the 22 month program is reviewed and the students are given a number of registry type practice examinations. The course provides an overall review of the nature and characteristics of x-ray production and the fundamentals of photon interaction with matter. The principles of radiation protection, including the responsibilities of the radiographer for patients, personnel, and the public are included as well as regulatory considerations. Emphasis on patient care, monitoring post contrast administration, performance of radiographic exams and professionalism are included.
