This course is designed to establish a knowledge base in the construction of the x-ray tube; the factors that govern and influence the production of x-rays; and principles that govern x-ray quality and quantity. Offered in the College for Adults. Prerequisite: RAD 1215.
This course will be taught primarily in the radiography lab (two days/ week). Students will view demonstrations, practice their positioning skills, and will be tested for technical competency as well as communication skills. This course prepares students to transition to working with patients and other healthcare team members. Offered in the College for Adults. Concurrent courses: RAD 1010, RAD 1020.
This course presents the principles of radiographic physics, incorporating the principles underlying the operation of X-ray equipment. Topics include electricity, electromagnetism, equipment, and the factors affecting radiographic quality. Offered in the College for Adults. Prerequisite: RAD 1225.
This course provides instruction in the principles of radiobiology and protection. It emphasizes procedures to minimize radiation exposure to patients, personnel and the general public. Historical and ethical issues will be analyzed during this course. Offered in the College for Adults. Prerequisite: RAD 1225.
This course will provide instruction in pediatric imaging, special radiographic procedures, trauma, mobile, fluoroscopy, and surgical radiography. Special imaging modalities and equipment is also included. Offered in the College for Adults. Prerequisite: RAD 1130.
This course contains a variety of topics, including pathology, diversity, and communication. Students will also start preparation for the registry exam with frequent testing. Offered in the College for Adults. Prerequisite: RAD 1130.
This course provides an in-depth synthesis of concepts related to Equipment Operation, Image Acquisition, Imaging Procedures and Patient Care. Students will continue their registry review and testing. Offered in the College for Adults. Prerequisite: RAD 2140.
This J-term clinical practicum course provides learning opportunities to apply the concepts learned in the classroom/lab in a radiology department. Interpersonal communication skills and cultural sensitivity are emphasized and practiced. Students will have the opportunity to observe and participate in radiographic procedures in a hospital or clinical setting (3 days/week). Offered in the College for Adults.
Each clinical practicum will build on the previous clinical courses. The focus is on continuing to develop skills to become highly skilled, compassionate, health care professionals. The clinical portion of the Radiography program will allow students the opportunity to observe, participate and demonstrate (advancing) skills in radiographic procedures and studies within the hospital and/or clinic setting as well as review, practice and simulate basic radiographic procedures and skills in the x-ray lab. The student will be able to discuss and demonstrate appropriated medicolegal ethics and the characteristics of professional behavior while engaging in professional communication techniques. Additionally, the student will establish progressions in the demonstration of positive values and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Furthermore, the student will establish progressions in demonstrating elements of procedural performance and radiation protection, while advancing in the requisite quantity of requirements for clinical competency. Upon the completion of the students’ clinical course progression, the student will demonstrate consistent progression towards clinical competence. Prerequisite: RAD 1315.
