22 courses with the subject RAD, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
RAD 1100INTRODUCTION TO RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY3
This course introduces the basic radiologic and professional concepts of Radiologic Technology and patient care, including considerations for the physical and psychological needs of the patient and family. Discussion of imaging equipment, basic positioning and terminology, patient care, universal precautions, infection control, monitoring vital signs and pharmacology are covered. Introduction to the terminology and basic principles of radiography. Students will apply classroom theory in the laboratory.
This course provides the student an in-depth study of the anatomy and positioning of the upper extremity, shoulder girdle, lower extremity and pelvis girdle. Students will apply classroom theory in the laboratory.
Presents an introduction to general physics principles, electricity and electromagnetism as they relate to the production of radiation. Origins of radiation, generators, motors, transformers, x-ray circuitry and x-ray tube operation will be introduced. The characteristics of x-ray production and interactions with matter will be discussed.
This course is a study of image formation, digital processing, and display. Instructions is provided in the composition, maintenance, and characteristics of computed radiography, flat panel DR, charged coupled device DR, and complementary metal oxide semiconductor DR as well as accessory equipment.
RAD 1125FUNDAMENTALS OF IMAGE ANALYSIS 1 / PATHOLOGY2
Students will expand on the basic fundamentals of image analysis. Students will analyze radiographic images using a system for identifying and correcting technical, positioning and exposure errors in the radiographic image. In addition, this course explores the radiographic correlation of the causes, appearances and symptoms of disease based on radiographic findings.
A discussion of radiation’s interactions with living systems. Acute and chronic effects of radiation are discussed as well as factors affecting biological responses. The characteristics and interactions with matter will be discussed. Federal and state guidelines are reviewed and methods of minimizing radiation exposure.
RAD 2145FUNDAMENTALS OF IMAGE ANALYSIS 2 / PATHOLOGY2
Students will expand on the basic fundamentals of image analysis. Students will analyze radiographic images using a system for identifying and correcting technical, positioning and exposure errors in the radiographic image. In addition, this course explores the radiographic correlation of the causes, appearances, and symptoms of disease based on radiographic findings.
This course expands upon Principles of Exposure I. Instruction in the theory and application of radiographic quality, automatic exposure control, exposure charts and quality assurance procedures.
On-line course: Provides an overview of specialty areas in the radiography department. Modalities include: CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, angiography, pediatrics, orthoroentgenography, arthrography, myelography, interventional angiography, cardiac catheterization, and radiation therapy. The student will gain an understanding of the basic procedure, equipment, terminology, and contrast agents.
This course provides the student with an in-depth study of the anatomy and positioning of the digestive, urinary system, mobile, pediatric, geriatric, venipuncture and a review of previous procedures. A review of previous Radiologic Procedure classes is included. Students will apply classroom theory in the laboratory.
On-line course: Students have the opportunity to assess, summarize and incorporate all previously learned radiologic concepts, principles and positioning skills necessary for preparation of the national Radiologic Technology Examination.
Consists of 37 hours each week, which include day, evenings, late night and weekend rotations. Direct supervised experience in the clinical affiliate, that enables the student to become familiar with departmental policies, workflow and office procedures, body mechanics and radiographic procedures. On-line component will include demonstration of the application of didactic education in the clinical setting.
Consists of 37 hours each week, which include day, evenings, late night and weekend rotations. Continuation of Radiologic Technology clinical education in the clinical affiliate site. Student gains experience and develops skills in Radiologic procedures, positioning and techniques in preparation for entry-level skills. Stu
This course forms the underpinnings of the Skeletal Radiology four-course sequence. A regional approach to the normal anatomy of axial and appendicular skeletal structures is presented. Palpation skills learned in the concurrent course Methods 1 and detailed anatomical information learned in the concurrent courses Spine an
Assessment of spinal biomechanics, congenital anomalies and normal variants, with emphasis on correlation of radiographic findings with patient history, exam and lab findings. Discussion of various methods of chiropractic X-ray marking and measurement,and the benefits and limitations of each as supported by current literat
Radiographic interpretation of skeletal trauma using a regional approach. Presentation of degenerative, inflammatory and metabolic arthritides. Correlation of radiographic findings with those from patient history and physical examination and lab. Discussion of various concerns regarding case management.
Students learn clinically oriented radiographic anatomy of the thorax and abdomen. Using a pattern recognition approach, a wide variety of abdominal and chest pathology is covered, with an emphasis on those conditions that are commonly encountered in a chiropractic setting and those conditions/diseases/ disorders with disastrous consequences for failure to recognize. Patient history, examination, laboratory findings (when relevant) and treatment considerations.
Introduction to the safe production of quality radiographs. Students discuss the physics of X-ray production, the principles of radiobiology and radiation protection, and regulations regarding the use of ionizing radiation equipment as typified by those of the Minnesota Department of Health.
Learn and practice the skills necessary to produce diagnostic radiographs of skeletal and related body components, including measurement, positioning, radiation protection, technique factor calculation, and equipment set-up and operation. Emphasis is on the projections commonly used in chiropractic practice.
With an overview of basic MRI correlation to common conditions, this course uses case-studies to help students prepare for real-life, hands-on skill development in film interpretation. This course also helps students prepare for the diagnostic imaging portion of Part 4 National Boards.
