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. 2 credits
10-526-149 RADIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY AND 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 AND COMPUTERS
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. 4 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. 4 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 ANATOMY AND 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. 2 credits
10-526-xxx DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY
Digital Radiography is designed to provide understanding of the components, principles and operation of digital imaging systems found in diagnostic radiology/imaging departments. The course will review digital imaging principles, image analysis, and digital applications. Direct digital radiography, computed radiography, and conventional systems will be compared.The course explores the role in hospital information systems and the importance of digital image communications in medicine in a radiology department along with picture archiving and communications systems. 2 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. 1 credit
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. 5 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
