Principles of radiation biology, including the interaction of radiation with living tissue and the methods used to protect the patient, radiographer and others are the major topics covered within this course. Radiation effects on molecules, cells, tissues and the body as a whole are presented. Factors affecting biological response are discussed, including acute and chronic effects of radiation. An overview of protection is presented. Radiation health and safety requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies, accreditation agencies and health care organizations are incorporated. 2.00 This course is designed to provide radiography students with principles related to Computed Tomography (CT) imaging and sectional anatomy. 2.00 This course is designed so that the student may begin critical analysis of image quality based upon theories learned and practice under direct supervision. 1.00 Continuation of clinical education rotations gives the student the opportunity to gain knowledge and practice in performing radiographic procedures learned in the classroom and laboratory setting. The student will continue to advance in their skills and confidence. Competency exams are still in progress. The student slowly shifts to indirect supervision per JRCERT and program guidelines. 3.00 This course is designed to provide the student with an introduction to pathology related to medical- surgical diseases and injury. Diseases that are demonstrated using radiographic procedures are the primary focus. The various modalities used to demonstrate pathologies are also discussed. 3.00 This course is designed to enhance the knowledge base of general radiographic equipment requirements and design. Included topics include: Image intensification, viewing and recording systems, digital fluoroscopy, linear tomography, mobile units and AEC devices. 3.00 Various forms of contrast media and its delivery are reviewed in this course. The procedures involving the digestive, urinary and biliary systems are studied in detail. 2.00 This course is designed so that the student may continue critical analysis of image quality based upon theories learned and practiced under direct supervision. 2.00 Continuation of clinical education rotations gives the student the opportunity to gain skill in the procedures learned in the classroom and laboratory setting. At this point in time, the student should be confident in performing all basic radiographic procedures. Competency exams are still on progress. The student should be able to work under indirect supervision per JRCERT and program guidelines. Opportunitites to roate through advacned modality areas are often offered. 3.00 Continuation of clinical education rotations gives the student the opportunity to ensure that a broad knowledge and comfort level in performing all radiographic procedures under indirect supervision has been attained before graduation. The terminal competencies are completed at the conclusion of the semester if required. 3.00 n This course is designed to provide basic concepts of pharmacology. The theory and practice of basic techniques of venipuncture and administration of contrast agents and/or intravenous medications is included. The appropriate delivery of patient care during these procedures is emphasized. 2.00 Various religious themes are examined, such as covenant, messianism, eschatology, redemption and prayer. Students are encouraged to appreciate the various writing genres of Old Testament literature, such as its creation stories, prophetic literature, apocalyptic and wisdom motifs expressed in Hebrew poetry. 3.00 Situating New Testament books within covenantal expectations is established as a foundation.
