22 courses with the subject RTT, 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.
Course is designed to provide students with an overview of radiation therapy and the practitioner’s role in the health care delivery system. Principles, practices, and policies of health care organizations. Professional responsibilities of the radiation therapist will be discussed.
This course reviews necessary math and physics, the structure of matter including electron configurations and the nucleus, the x‐ray circuit, interactions between ionizing radiation and matter, and the application of principles necessary for the production of x‐rays and gamma rays. Cross‐listed with RAD 333.
Content is designed to provide students with experiential learning experiences for reinforcing concepts and skills learned in Foundations of Radiation Therapy.
Clinical experience obtained through assigned rotations in various affiliates. Twenty‐four hours of clinic per week.
Continuation of assigned rotations from Clinical Practicum I. Twenty‐four hours of clinic per week.
Content is designed to provide students with concepts and competencies in assessment and evaluation of the patient diagnosed with cancer under treatment. Psychological needs, physical needs, psychosocial considerations, factor affecting treatment outcome, and medical record management will be present and examined.
This course provides students with hands‐on practice of ARRT‐required general patient care skills used to assess and evaluate patients diagnosed with cancer and receiving treatment in the Radiation Oncology department. Role‐play and simulation will aid in student development of skills to assist patients with physical, psychological and psychosocial needs that affect treatment outcome.
This course is designed to develop leadership skills essential for the success of the health care professional. The students will review selected procedures with an emphasis on preparation for board exam and will prepare a portfolio.
Content is designed to examine and evaluate the management of neoplastic disease, while promoting critical thinking and ethical clinical decision making. The epidemiology, etiology, detection, diagnosis, patient condition, treatment, and prognosis of neoplastic disease will be discussed relative to histology, anatomical site and patterns of spread.
A continuation of clinical theory as it applies to neoplastic disease and treatment. Includes the advanced skills needed to analyze complex issues of cancer disease and make informed treatment decisions.
Provides the student with a knowledge of basic radiation therapy physics. Emphasis on atomic structure, radioactivity, properties and production of high energy x‐rays, interactions with matter, measurement of beam parameters including QA of linear accelerators. Use of radioisotopes in Brachytherapy and an introduction to external beam treatment planning.
Continuation of Radiation Therapy Physics I Measurement of absorbed dose, scattering, and other parameters used in external beam treatment planning and its application in common anatomical sites. Physics and dosimetry of electron beams. Emphasis will be on dosage calculations and technical quality assurance in Radiation Therapy.
This course focuses on quality management programs and continuing quality improvements in radiation oncology. To include the need for quality assurance checks in the clinical area; QA evaluations and tests performed on simulators, treatment units, and therapy planning units; legal and regulatory implications for maintaining appropriate QM guidelines.
Content is designed to establish factors that influence and govern clinical planning of patient treatment. This encompasses isodose descriptions, patient contouring, radiobiologic considerations, dosimetric calculations, compensations and clinical application of treatment beams. Optimal treatment planning is emphasized along with particle beams. Stereotactic and emerging technologies are presented.
An emphasis on radiation safety and radiobiology in the clinical area to include patient and occupational dose. Cross‐Listed with RAD 432.
Total 29 Hours *Total block credit hours for R.T. (R)(ARRT) will be awarded upon successful completion of RTT 310 Foundations of Radiation Therapy. The R.T. (R)(ARRT) certification must be verified no later than the start of the junior year.
This course examines the study and analysis of radiographic image production and image evaluation from a computed radiography (CR) and digital imaging perspective. Picture archiving communication systems (PACS), radiology information systems (RIS), and hospital information systems (HIS) will be discussed. Cross‐Listed with RAD 484.
Examination of computed tomography (CT) instrumentation and physics to include system operation and components, image processing and display, image quality, artifact recognition, and quality control. Cross‐Listed with RAD 481.
Examination of computed tomography (CT) procedures and protocols to include positioning, acquisition methods, parameter selection, and special procedures. Cross‐listed with RAD 483.
Continuation of assigned rotations from Clinical Practicum II. Twenty‐four hours of clinic per week.
Continuation of assigned rotations from Clinical Practicum III. Thirty‐two hours of clinic per week.
