    Prerequisites: current enrollment in the radiography program.
  
  • RDTK 1910 - 1st Yr-Clinical Education III (3CR)


    (13.5LB) A continuation of RDTK 1810. This course involves a practical learning experience in the clinical radiographic environment. Students participate at pre-scheduled time periods and practice their radiographic skills for a total of 195 clinical education hours at various clinical locations. Students will be under the supervision of clinical instructors or registered radiographers during their experience. Skills necessary to perform entry level tasks in the clinical setting will be reviewed. Positioning skills of the spine and contrast studies will be covered. See program policies for clinical clock hours vs credit hours description.

    Prerequisites: RDTK 1610  and RDTK 1810 .
  
  • RDTK 1915 - Introduction to Computed Tomography (2CR)


    (2L) This course is designed to introduce the medical imaging student to basic aspects of computed tomography. An overview of history and technical advances related to CT, patient care and assessment specific to CT procedures, contrast media, radiation protection practices, as well as screening procedures and patient education. A basic introduction to the clinical setting will also be included.

    Prerequisites: Admission to the Computed Tomography Program.
  
  • RDTK 1920 - Computed Tomography Procedures I (3CR)


    (3L) This course covers the anatomy and common pathology associated with computer tomography. The anatomical structures will be demonstrated in the axial, sagittal and coronal imaging planes. Scanning protocols, contrast administration, and contraindications for computed tomography of the head, neck, chest, musculoskeletal, abdomen, and pelvis will be presented. Content provides detailed coverage of procedures for CT imaging. Procedures include, but are not limited to, indications for the procedure, patient education, preparation, orientation and positioning, patient history and assessment, contrast media usage, scout image, selectable scan parameters, filming and archiving of the images. CT procedures will be taught for differentiation of specific structures, patient symptomology and pathology images studied will reviewed for quality, anatomy and pathology. CT procedures vary from facility to facility and normally are dependent on the preferences of the radiologists. Patient Care, contrast media, venipuncture, CT injection procedures, radiation safety and protection will be emphasized for each of the scanning procedures.

    Prerequisites: Admission to the Computed Tomography Program, RDTK 2200 .
