RAD 101Introduction to Radiologic3
Sciences & Patient Care This course is designed to provide an overview of the foundations in radiography and the practitioner’s role in the health care delivery system. Principles, practices, and policies of the health care organization(s) are examined and discussed in addition to the professional responsibilities of the radi- ographer. The course provides the basic concepts of patient care, including consid- eration for the physical and psychological needs of the patient and family. Patient care procedures are discussed, as well as infection control procedures using standard precautions. The role of the radiographer in patient education is identified. Students are required to complete this course before entering the clinical sites.
Content of this course is designed to pro- vide a knowledge base necessary to per- form standard radiographic procedures of the chest, abdomen, and upper extremities. Consideration is given to the production of images of optimal diagnostic quality. Laboratory experience is used to comple- ment the didactic portion.
Content of this course is designed to estab- lish a basic knowledge of atomic structure and terminology. Also presented are the nature and characteristics of radiation, x- ray production, and the fundamentals of photon interactions with matter. CATALOG 2023–2024 131
Content and clinical practice experiences are de- signed for sequential development, application, critical analysis, integration, synthesis, and evalua- tion of concepts and theories in the performance of radiologic procedures. Through structured sequen- tial, competency-based assignments in a clinical setting, concepts of team practice, patient-centered clinical practice, and professional development are discussed, examined, and evaluated. Clinical practice experiences are designed to provide patient care and assessment, competent performance of radiologic imaging, and total quality management. Levels of competency and outcomes measurement ensure the well-being of the patient preparatory to, during, and following the radiologic procedure.
Content is designed to provide a knowledge base necessary to perform standard radi- ographic procedures of the lower extremi- ties and spine. Consideration is given to the production of images of optimal diagnostic quality. Laboratory experience is used to complement the didactic portion.
Content is designed to establish a knowl- edge base in radiographic, fluoroscopic, mobile, and tomographic equipment requirements and design. This class also focuses on factors that govern and influ- ence the production and recording of radio- logic images including properties of quality assurance and control to ensure the best possible diagnosis. 132 H A RC U M C O L L E G E

Levels of competency and outcomes meas- urement ensure the well-being of the patient preparatory to, during, and follow- ing the radiologic procedure. As the stu- dents achieve competency, they begin performing more studies under indirect supervision.
and PACS Digital Radiography and PACS is an overview and introduction to Digital Imaging and Computed Radiography at an entry level. It will provide radi- ography students with information assisting them in the operating of equipment used in the clinical setting and understand the image acquisition guidelines, as well as detailed exposure guidelines and quality control practices to help obtain the best radiographs possible. Image processing, production of clear radiographic images using digital technol- ogies, and working with CR/DR quality worksta- tions and information systems are covered as well as system architecture and the importance of HIPAA laws while accessing information systems. Students will understand why digital imaging works and how they can provide optimal Imaging techniques necessary for patient care through advanced imag- ing processing and manipulation functions.
and Biology Content is designed to provide an overview of the principles of radiation protection, including the responsibilities of the radiog- rapher for patients, personnel, and the pub- lic. Radiation health and safety requirements of federal and state regulato- ry agencies, accreditation agencies, and health care organizations are incorporated.
Content is designed and presented to intro- duce theories of disease causation and the pathophysiologic responses, clinical mani- festations, radiographic appearance, and management of alterations in body sys- tems.

Content is designed to prepare students to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technology Examination. All didactic and clinical informa- tion from the 22 month program is reviewed and the students are given a number of registry type practice examinations. The course provides an overall review of the nature and characteristics of x-ray production and the fundamentals of photon interaction with matter. The principles of radiation protection, including the responsi- bilities of the radiographer for patients, person- nel, and the public are included as well as regulatory considerations. Emphasis on patient care, monitoring post contrast administration, performance of radiographic exams, and profes- sionalism are included. RAD courses from RAD 101 through RAD 205.
This course introduces the student theories with an introduction to pathology related to medical-surgical diseases and injury that compromise healthy systems. Etiology, responses, and radiographic manifestations will be discussed. Each major body system will be included to address radiographic appearance of disease and disease manage- ment. Diseases that are demonstrated using radiographic procedures are the primary focus as well as the various modalities used to demonstrate pathologies. 105, RAD 201
This course focuses specifically on the com- ponents, principles, and operation of digital imaging and computed radiography systems. It will provide radiography students with fac- tors that impact image acquisition, display, archiving, and retrieval. Detailed exposure guidelines and quality control practices and continuous quality management will also be presented. Students will understand digital imaging concepts and how to achieve opti- mal imaging techniques necessary for patient care through advanced image pro- cessing and manipulation functions. 105, RAD 201 CATALOG 2023–2024 133
