14 Week Session September 8 - December 12
RADR 1213 Principles of Radiographic Imaging I
This course will analyze radiographic image qualities and the effects of exposure variables upon these qualities. Offered in Fall. Prerequisite: Admission to program.
RADR 1309 Introduction to Radiography and Patient Care
This course includes the historical development of radiography, basic radiation protection, an introduction to medical terminology, ethical and legal issues for health care professionals, and an orientation to the program and to the health care system. Patient assessment, infection control procedures, emergency and safety procedures, communication and patient interaction skills, and basic pharmacology are also included. Offered in Fall Semester. Prerequisite: Admission to program.
RADR 1317 Radiographic Anatomy and Physiology I
This course develops the student's ability to relate basic human anatomy and physiology to the image. The localization and identification of human anatomy on the radiographic image is emphasized. Prerequisite: Admission to program.
RADR 1411 Basic Radiographic Procedures
This course includes an introduction to radiographic positioning terminology, the proper manipulation of equipment, positioning and alignment of the anatomical structure and equipment, and evaluation of images for proper demonstration of basic anatomy and related pathology. Offered in Fall. Prerequisite: Admission to program.
RADR 2217 Radiographic Pathology
An overview of the disease process and common diseases, and their appearance on medical images. The student will classify types of diseases, explain the pathogenesis of common diseases and identify the appearance of common diseases on medical images. Offered in Fall.
RADR 2271 Sectional Anatomy and Patient Care
This course is designed to introduce the student to the anatomy of the human body in cross section as required for Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Demonstration and evaluation of sectional anatomy images as provided by Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be provided. Offered in Fall.
RADR 2274 Advanced Technical Principles
This course will introduce advanced methods of radiographic quality assurance techniques and radiographic exposure systems. Quality assurance will include evaluation of contrast, density, distortion, recorded details, and equipment function. Offered in Fall. Prerequisite: RADR 2205.
MRIT 2330 Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MRIT 2460 Clinical -- Radiologic Technology/Science - Radiographer I
A basic, intermediate, or advanced type of health professions work-based instruction that helps students synthesize new knowledge, apply previous knowledge, or gain experience managing the workflow. Practical experience is simultaneously related to theory. Close and/or direct supervision is provided by the clinical professional (faculty or preceptor), generally in a clinical setting. Clinical education is an unpaid learning experience. Students are assigned to affiliated medical imaging departments where they observe and participate in the performance of basic MRI imaging procedures under direct supervision.
RADR 2460 Clinical-Radiologic Technology/Science--Radiographer III
A method of instruction providing detailed education, training and work-based experience, and direct patient/client care, generally at a clinical site. Specific detailed learning objectives are developed for each course by the faculty. On-site clinical instruction, supervision, evaluation, and placement is the responsibility of the college faculty. Clinical experiences are unpaid external learning experiences. Course may be repeated if topics and learning outcomes vary. Offered in Fall. Prerequisite: RADR 1361.
