The student will also be supplied with the general information regarding the radiation protection of the general population as well as those employed in the health professions. This course will provide a descriptions of the design and operation of the Fluoroscope, Television Monitor, Television camera, and the Radiographic Film Processor. Procedures for maintenance, quality control and quality assurance will be explored. The student will also be given the opportunity to reexamine topics previously covered in Radiologic Physics RADT 200 to gain greater depth of understanding. The student is provided with clinical experience involving radiographic positioning of the upper and lower extremities, shoulder and pelvic girdles, biliary tract, fluoroscopic examinations, skull vertebral column and experience in the specialty areas such as mammography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and special procedures.
Clinical competencies are to be successfully completed in the areas mentioned above.
This course is designed to develop the integration of didactic technical skills into practical radiography. Special emphasis will be placed on case studies utilizing problem-solving and technical applications for students. In this course, the student will evaluate radiographs for adequate positioning skills, proper radiographic technique, film identification and diagnostic quality. Emphasis is placed on basic concepts concerning medical and surgical diseases and their relationship to radiologic technology. The student is provided with clinical experience involving radiographic positioning of the upper and lower extremities, shoulder and pelvic girdles, biliary tract, fluoroscopic examinations, skull, vertebral column and the bony thorax.
