-
1.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the basic patient care procedures required for the performance of radiographic procedures. Includes medical and surgical asepsis, psychological needs of patient and first aid skills. Students are CPR-certified during this course. Prerequisite: BIO 113 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The student learns the terminology related to basic radiographic positioning and anatomy of the chest, abdomen, and upper and lower extremities. Correlation of the anatomy with the specific positioning required for these studies is made by lecture and demonstration, both in class and at the hospital affiliate. Prerequisite: BIO 113 or permission of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
The student performs radiographic procedures of the chest, abdomen, and upper and lower extremities. Clinical competency evaluations are initiated during this semester. Prerequisite: BIO 113 or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the basic principles of radiographic imaging and the production of quality radiographs. The control and understanding of x-ray production, the factors of contrast and density, along with the proper film characteristics and processing of radiographs are developed. Emphasis is placed on experiments designed to give the student practical experience. Prerequisite: RAD 226 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to examine the effects of ionizing radiation on the human biological system. Radiation effects in an aqueous medium, dose response curves, the acute radiation syndrome, and genetic and somatic effects of low-level radiation are discussed. Prerequisites: BIO 112, 113, 226, and permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to acquaint the student with normal and abnormal anatomy and to correlate the anatomical and radiological findings. Abnormal anatomy is presented using all imaging techniques useful to demonstrate the particular type of pathology. This includes CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine imaging, along with routine diagnostic imaging techniques. Prerequisites: BIO 112, 113, CS 110, and permission of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
The positioning procedures for examinations of the shoulder girdle, vertebral column, and axial skeleton are correlated with the anatomy of these areas. Demonstrations of the routine projections are provided at the clinical affiliate. Prerequisite: RAD 315 or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces the student to patient care procedures in the operating and emergency rooms, special procedures, and critical care areas. Prerequisite: RAD 310 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The student performs radiographic procedures of the vertebral column, shoulder girdle, and axial skeleton. Clinical competency evaluations are performed during this course. Prerequisite: RAD 320 or permission of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
A review of selected topics in physics as relates to the needs of diagnostic imaging. Topics include electricity, generators, transformers, electrostatics, electrodynamics, and electromagnetism. A comprehensive knowledge of rectification, X-ray circuitry, X-ray tubes, and comparison of various equipment designs. Prerequisites: RAD 330 and PHY 102, or permission of instructor.
