2.50 Credits
Continuation of Radiographic Anatomy and Positioning I and II, covering additional radiographic positions, trauma and pediatric positioning, and radiographic film evaluation. The majority of the semester is spent on techniques required to x-ray the human skull properly. Course content is delivered via classroom instruction, laboratory setting for demonstration of student competency, and in a clinical setting for practical application under the direction of the clinical supervisor.
Prerequisite:
RAD 113 AND RAD 114 AND RAD 115 AND RAD 116 AND RAD 117 AND RAD 118 AND RAD 201
-
3.50 Credits
In depth study that builds upon material presented in prerequisite exposure courses to provide a thorough understanding of radiographic image quality. Concepts covered include radiographic density, contrast, definition and distortion and their controlling factors of mA, kVp, and S (time) to prepare radiographic images of optimum quality. Additionally, concepts in radiographic quality assurance and control procedures and techniques are explored.
Prerequisite:
RAD 113 AND RAD 114 AND RAD 115 AND RAD 116 AND RAD 117 AND RAD 118 AND RAD 201
-
0.50 Credits
Comprehensive study of basic special procedures and overview of interventional radiography exams and principals. Emphasis on angiography, myelography, hysterosalpigography, and cardiac and vascular interventions. Content areas include indications for examinations, equipment, examination protocols, radiographic anatomy and special needs of patients undergoing those procedures.
Prerequisite:
PHS 222 AND RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 225 AND RAD 226 AND RAD 227 AND RAD 228
-
1.00 Credits
Clinical radiography experience that continues to apply radiographic theory and technical applications. Clinical learning experiences enable student to acquire expertise and proficiency in a variety of diagnostic radiographic procedures and techniques, including radiation protection applications, quality assurance, interventional and special radiographic examinations. An understanding of anatomy and physiology and radiographic positioning is required at specified levels of competency. A minimum of 15 hours in the clinic environment per week is required. Student must have current CPR certification.
Prerequisite:
RAD 201
Corequisite:
RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 227 AND RAD 228 OR RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 223 AND RAD 227
-
1.00 Credits
Comprehensive study of basic concepts regarding pediatric and trauma radiology. Students receive instruction in the classroom and demonstrate competence in such specific areas as radiographing patients with facial injuries, head injuries, and fractures, as well as transporting, radiographing, and restraining pediatric patients. Emphasis on the importance of special care needed when radiographing serve trauma and pediatric patients. (Formerly RAD250)
Prerequisite:
RAD 113 AND RAD 114 AND RAD 115 AND RAD 116 AND RAD 117 AND RAD 118 AND RAD 201
-
3.00 Credits
Provides an overview of the principles of radiation protection and radiobiology. Radiation protection responsibilities of the radiographer for the patient, personnel, and the public are presented. The concepts of As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), Negligible Individual Risk Level (NIRL), and stochastic and non-stochastic effects will be discussed and compared with the concept of Maximum Permissible Dose (MPD). Regulatory agencies will be identified and agency involvement in radiation protection will be discussed. In addition, the basic effects of ionizing radiation on cells and the human body will be discussed. Special emphasis is placed on the effects of x-radiation for students enrolled in the Radiography program. (Formerly RAD 222)
Prerequisite:
RAD 113 AND RAD 114 AND RAD 115 AND RAD 116 AND RAD 117 AND RAD 118 AND RAD 201
Corequisite:
PHS 222
-
1.50 Credits
Study of the components, principles, and operation of digital imaging systems found in diagnostic radiology. Topics include the factors that impact image acquisition, display, archiving, and retrieval, as well as the principles of digital system quality assurance and maintenance. Guidelines for selecting exposure factors and evaluating images within a digital system create a conceptual bridge between film-based and digital imaging systems.
Prerequisite:
RAD 201
-
3.00 Credits
Basic study of the theory and application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computerized Tomography. Aspects of electronic digital imaging are included.
Prerequisite:
RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 222 AND RAD 223 AND RAD 224 AND RAD 225 OR RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 223 AND RAD 225 AND RAD 227 OR RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 225 AND RAD 226 AND RAD 227 AND RAD 228
-
1.00 Credits
Topics in human pathology on a gross anatomic level. Inflammatory, immunology, infections, traumatic and neoplastic processes are emphasized. Specific diseases are studied in depth from an organ system approach.
Prerequisite:
RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 222 AND RAD 223 AND RAD 224 AND RAD 225 OR RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 223 AND RAD 225 AND RAD 227 OR RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 225 AND RAD 226 AND RAD 227 AND RAD 228
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to human anatomy in a cross-sectional image format. Course work builds upon student knowledge of human anatomy and physiology using transverse, coronal, and saggital MRI and CT imaged sections of the human body.
Prerequisite:
BIO 115 AND BIO 125 AND RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 222 AND RAD 223 AND RAD 224 AND RAD 225 OR BIO 115 AND BIO 125 AND RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 223 AND RAD 225 AND RAD 227 OR BIO 115 AND BIO 125 AND RAD 220 AND RAD 221 AND RAD 225 AND RAD 226 AND RAD 227 AND RAD 228
