RADS
1220 Clinical Imaging II
(0-8-2)
Continues introductory student learning experiences in the hospital setting. Topics
include: patient care, radiation safety practices, equipment utilization, exposure
techniques, attend to and/or observation of routine projections of the thoracic and
abdominal cavities in general and fluoroscopic procedures, observation of routine
projections of the upper extremities and the shoulder girdle and lower extremities, pelvic
girdle, and spine, observation of procedures related to the gastrointestinal (GI),
genitourinary (GU), and biliary systems and observation of procedure related to minor
radiologic procedures. Execution of radiographic procedures will be conducted under
direct and indirect supervision. Initial competencies will be obtained.
Prerequisites: RADS 1000, RADS 1210.
Corequisite: RADS 1020.
Offered: Summer.

to and/or observation of routine projections of the thoracic and abdominal cavities, upper
and lower extremities, pelvic girdle, and spine, attend to and/or observation of procedures
related to the gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary (GU), and biliary systems, and attend to
and/or observation of procedure related to minor radiologic procedures. Execution of
radiographic procedures will be conducted under direct and indirect supervision.
Additional competencies and evidence of continued competencies will be obtained.

RADS
2130 Imaging Science II
(4-0-4)
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.
Offered: Fall.
