RADS 2060 Radiographic Procedures III
(2-3-3)
Continues to develop the knowledge required to perform radiographic procedures.
Topics include: gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, genitourinary (GU) procedures,
biliary system procedures, special procedures, anatomy and routine projections of
the cranium, facial bones, and sinuses, sectional anatomy of the head, neck,
thorax and abdomen.
Prerequisite: RADS 1040, RADS 1230.
Corequisite: RADS 2240.
Offered: Spring.
RADS 2130 Imaging Science II
(3-2-4)
Content is designed to impart an understanding of the components, principles and
operation of digital imaging systems found in diagnostic radiology. Factors that
impact image acquisition, display, archiving and retrieval are discussed.
Guidelines for selecting exposure factors and evaluating images within a digital
system assist students to bridge between film-based and digital imaging systems,
with a knowledge base in radiographic, fluoroscopic, mobile and tomographic
equipment requirements and design. This content also provides a basic knowledge
of quality control, principles of digital system, quality assurance and maintenance.
Content is designed to provide entry-level radiography students with principles
related to computed tomography (CT) imaging and other imaging modalities (i.e.,
MRI, US, NM, Mammography) in terms of purpose, principles, equipment/material
and procedure. Topics include: imaging equipment, digital image acquisition and
display, and basic principles of CT and other imaging modalities.
Prerequisites: CISM 2201, RADS 1120.
Corequisite: None.
Offered: Fall.
RADS 2140 Pathology for the Imaging Professional
(2-0-2)
Content is designed to introduce the student to concepts related to disease and
etiological considerations. Pathology and disease as they relate to various
radiographic procedures are discussed with emphasis on radiographic
appearance of disease and impact on exposure factor selection. Topics include:
fundamentals of pathology, trauma/physical injury and systematic classification of
disease.
Prerequisites: RADS 1000, ALHE 1120, BIOL 1100K.
Corequisite: None.
Offered: Summer.
RADS 2150 Radiologic Science Review
(3-0-3)
Provides a review of basic knowledge from previous courses and helps the student
prepare for national certification examinations for radiographers. Topics include:
image production and evaluation, radiographic procedures, anatomy, physiology,
pathology, and terminology, equipment operation and quality control, radiation
protection, and patient care and education.
Prerequisites: RADS 1100, RADS 2060, RADS 2130, RADS 2140, RADS 2250.
Corequisite: None.
Offered: Fall.
