10-526-158 INTRODUCTION TO RADIOGRAPHY
Introduction to Radiography introduces students to the role of radiography in health care. Students apply legal and ethical considerations to patient care and pharmacology in the radiologic sciences. 3 credits.
10-526-149 RADIOGRAPHIC PROCEDURES 1
Radiographic Anatomy and Procedures 1 prepares radiography students to perform routine radiologic procedures on various parts of the body including the upper body, hip, pelvis and ankle. Students apply knowledge of human anatomy to position the patient correctly to achieve the desired result. 5 credits.
10-526-159 RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING 1
Radiographic Imaging 1 introduces radiography students to the process of creating radiographic images. Students determine the factors that affect image quality including contrast, density, and distortion. Students apply OSHA standards for health and safety in the darkroom. 3 credits.
10-526-168 RADIOGRAPHY CLINICAL PRACTICE 1
Radiography Clinical Practice 1 is a beginning level clinical course that prepares radiography students to perform radiologic procedures on patients with extensive supervision and direction. Students apply radiation protection and standard precautions in the production of radiographs in a health care setting while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. An emphasis of the course is the development of communication and critical thinking skills appropriate to the clinical setting. 2 credits.
10-526-194 IMAGING EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Imaging Equipment and Computers introduces radiography students to the principles and application of x-ray technology. Students analyze how x-rays are produced and determine the corrective actions necessary for common equipment malfunctions. 3 credits.
10-526-192 RADIOGRAPHIC CLINICAL PRACTICE 2
Radiographic Clinical Practice 2 is the second level clinical course that prepares radiography students to perform radiologic procedures on patients with extensive supervision and direction. Students apply radiation protection and standard precautions in the production of radiographs in a health care setting while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. An emphasis of the course is the development of communication and critical thinking skills appropriate to the clinical setting. 3 credits.
10-526-170 RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING 2
Radiographic Imaging 2 prepares radiography students to apply advanced radiographic principles to the production of radiographic images. Students analyze exposure factor considerations, differentiate between film and exposure latitude, and use beam-restricting devices. 3 credits.
10-526-191 RADIOGRAPHIC PROCEDURES 2
Radiographic Anatomy and Procedures 2 prepares radiography students to perform routine radiologic procedures on various parts of the body, including the skull and spine. Students apply knowledge of human anatomy to position the patient correctly to achieve the desired result. 5 credits.
10-526-193 RADIOGRAPHIC CLINICAL PRACTICE 3
Radiographic Clinical Practice 3 is the third level clinical course which prepares radiography students to perform radiologic procedures on patients with supervision and direction. Students apply radiation protection and standard precautions in the production of radiographs in a health care setting while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. An emphasis of the course is the demonstration of communication and critical thinking skills appropriate to the clinical setting. 3 credits.
10-526-196 MODALITIES
Modalities introduces radiography students to other types of imaging including ultrasound, MRI, mammography, and bone density scans. Students analyze the role of various imaging technologies in health care. 3 credits.
10-526-199 RADIOGRAPHIC CLINICAL PRACTICE 4
Radiographic Clinical Practice 4 is the fourth level clinical course that prepares radiography students to perform radiologic procedures on patients with supervision and direction. Students apply radiation protection and standard precautions in the production of radiographs in a health care setting while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. Students are encouraged to demonstrate independent judgment in the performance of clinical competencies. 3 credits.
10-526-190 RADIOGRAPHIC CLINICAL PRACTICE 5
Radiographic Clinical Practice 5 is the fifth level clinical course that prepares radiography students to perform radiologic procedures on patients with some supervision. Students apply radiation protection and standard precautions in the production of radiographs in a health care setting while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. Students are encouraged to demonstrate independent judgment in the performance of clinical competencies. 2 credits.
10-526-189 RADIOGRAPHIC PATHOLOGY
Radiographic Pathology prepares radiography students to determine the basic radiographic manifestations of pathological conditions. Students classify trauma related to site, complications, and prognosis and locate the radiographic appearance of pathologies. 1 credit.
10-526-197 RADIATION PROTECTION AND BIOLOGY
Radiation Protection and Biology prepares radiography students to protect themselves and others from exposure to radioactivity. Students examine the characteristics of radiation and how radiation affects cell biology. Students apply standards and guidelines for radiation exposure. 3 credits.
10-526-198 RADIOGRAPHY CLINICAL PRACTICE 6
Radiography Clinical Practice 6 is the final clinical course which requires students to integrate and apply all knowledge learned in previous courses to the production of high quality radiographs in the clinical setting. Students apply radiation protection and standard precautions in the production of radiographs in a health care setting while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. Students are encouraged to demonstrate independent judgment in the performance of clinical competencies. 2 credits.
