PRO 1101Radiographic Procedures I & Lab4
This course is a coordinated classroom and lab in which students will learn foundational radiographic positioning. Emphasis will be placed on the production of quality radiographs, and laboratory experience will demonstrate the application of theoretical principles and concepts. Topics include: introduction to radiographic procedures; positioning terminology; positioning considerations; procedures, anatomy, and topographical anatomy related to chest and abdomen cavities, bony thorax, upper extremities, shoulder girdle, and lower extremities. Students will develop critical thinking skills and adaptive techniques for use on difficult or non-standard patients. Methods of imaging using standard radiographic/ fluoroscopic rooms are covered. Radiation safety methods are taught with each unit of study. During lab, students simulate performing radiographic procedures on fellow classmates. Students will utilize energized imaging equipment to demonstrate proper positioning and positioning errors using phantom body parts. Testing for this course includes practical and written testing. This course requires program admission, Human Anatomy & Physiology I and Lab, and Human Anatomy & Physiology II and Lab as prerequisites.
This course is a coordinated classroom and lab in which students will learn radiographic positioning including pelvic girdle, spine, and thorax examinations. Anatomy pertinent to each radiographic examination is also studied. Students continue to learn how to produce quality radiographs and continued laboratory experience will demonstrate the application of theoretical principles and concepts.
