Radiography (RAD)

This course is an introduction to the hospital environment, developing an understanding of the role of a Radiographer.  Students will learn medical terminology to better communicate with other healthcare professionals and their patients. The history of radiography as well as developing technologies will be presented. Introduction to prime factors.  

This course introduces task objectives and competencies in general radiographic procedures, related anatomy, and image evaluation. Recommended topics include Chest, Abdomen, and appendicular skeleton.

In conjunction with Radiographic Procedures I, students will attend weekly lab instruction to reinforce the content presented in the classroom.

This course is a continuation of Radiographic Procedures I and continues to emphasize task objectives and competencies in general radiographic procedures, related anatomy and image evaluation. Recommended topics include completion of appendicular skeleton, and introduction to axial skeleton imaging.

In conjunction with Radiographic Procedures II, students will attend weekly lab instruction to reinforce the procedures learned in the classroom.

This introductory course will  cover radiographic equipment with emphasis on image formation, radiation protection and safety, and the production  and interaction of  x-rays with  matter. Imaging accessories and their effect on radiographic quality will be discussed. 

This course is the laboratory component of the Imaging/Exposure I course. It is meant to give the student hands on lab practice to learn the basics of prime factors ad their effect on radiographic image quality. Basic digital imaging characteristics will also be introduced.

This course provides the student with advanced study of fluoroscopy, physics, computed radiography, digital radiography, digital fluoroscopy, and quality assurance/quality control techniques used to evaluate radiographic imaging equipment.

This course is the laboratory component of the Imaging/Exposure III course that is a continuation of advanced study of fluoroscopy, computed radiography, digital radiography, digital fluoroscopy, and the techniques and testing to evaluate and assess quality assurance.

This course is a continuation of the Introduction to Radiologic Science and Patient Care Course, delving more deeply into Patient Care issues. Patient interactions, medical emergencies, Pharmacology, and ethical and medical issues will be discussed. Additional reflection on patient care skills will be included.

This course introduces the clinical setting and general radiographic areas of Diagnostic Imaging with supervised clinical practice. Students will develop patient positioning skills, image evaluation, patient communication skills, and basic patient care skills.

Students will practice clinical skills, at a campus clinical affiliate, in the general radiographic areas of Diagnostic Imaging with supervised clinical practice.

This course is a continuation of Radiography Clinical I. Students will continue to practice clinical skills in the general radiographic areas of Diagnostic Imaging with supervised clinical practice.

Students continue to develop clinical skills, at a campus clinical affiliate, in the general radiographic areas of Diagnostic Imaging with supervised clinical practice.

Supervised clinical practice experience for students transitioning from first year to second year radiography courses. Students continue to develop skills at a clinical facility on Diagnostic Imaging.

This course is a continuation of Radiographic Procedures II. It introduces more advanced imaging procedures and continues to emphasize task objectives and competencies in general radiographic procedures, related anatomy, and image evaluation. Procedures covered completion of axial skeleton and Digestive System, Urinary System, Reproductive System and Advanced imaging for fluoroscopy.

In conjunction with Radiographic Procedures III, students will attend weekly lab instruction to reinforce the procedures learned in the classroom.

This course is a continuation in the advanced study of fluoroscopy, computed radiography, digital radiography, digital fluoroscopy,and the techniques and testing to evaluate and assess quality assurance.

This course is the laboratory component of the Imaging/Exposure III course that is a continuation of advanced study of fluoroscopy, computed radiography, digital radiography, digital fluoroscopy,and the techniques and testing to evaluate and assess quality assurance.

This course provides an overview of pathologic conditions that are demonstrated by diagnostic imaging.

This course is designed to present a clear understanding of all sources and use of medical radiation and the various types of equipment used in a radiology department. This course also includes the study of radioisotopes, the production of x-rays, imaging measurements of radiation and a basic understanding of the ways in which radiation interacts with the biological system. Emphasis is also placed on the various methods of protection for technologists and patients.

This course is the culmination of all radiographic technology courses. Students will look at future technology and will research and present on a chosen topic that utilizes imaging technology for diagnosis and/or treatment.

Students will practice clinical skills in the general radiographic areas of Diagnostic Imaging, including Advanced Imaging Procedures with supervised clinical practice.
