Students will continue to formulate and apply a working knowledge of radiographic positioning and human anatomy. The students will learn to select and employ the correct procedure process during a radiographic examination and prepare to implement this knowledge in a clinical setting. This course will cover the bony thorax, spine, head, gastrointestinal tract, as well […]

Clinical experience is provided in this course under the direct supervision of ARRT-registered radiographers. Clinical competencies will be given corresponding to the exams completed in the classroom. Performance standards are used to evaluate the student’s progress.

This course will teach the student about the physics of radiology. The basic principles of electricity, magnetism and electromagnetic energy will be covered. This knowledge will help to provide an understanding of how a quality diagnostic radiograph is created, while taking into account safe exposure factors for a patient. Students will understand how x-rays are […]

This course will study in depth the four radiographic qualities of density, contrast, recorded detail and distortion. Factors that affect the four radiographic qualities will be discussed. Students will learn mathematical formulas that aid them in better understanding these factors. Lab and group performance will be utilized to help students learn and understand the content.

Continuation of Clinical Practicum I.

This course is designed to prepare imaging students for CT and MRI imaging. Students will learn how to identify and assess cross-sectional images. Expectations of radiologists and physicians will be clearly delineated in the course. Students that complete this course successfully will be better prepared for rotations in CT and/or MRI imaging.

Continuation of Clinical Practicum II.

This course will provide a detailed study of special radiographic procedures. The course will discuss the role of the technologist, equipment required in various procedures, and concerns of the technologist when performing these exams. The course also discusses radiation protection and health physics. This course will provide direction to students for registry preparation.

Students review the basics of cell biology and study the basic biologic interaction of radiation. That study will include cellular and tissue response to radiation, as well as radiation pathology, the total body radiation response, and the late effects of radiation. It will conclude with a discussion of clinical radiobiology that includes diagnostic radiology, nuclear […]
