Radiologic Technology - RAD

A study of health care communications, customer service, quality improvement, team building, health care systems, accreditation issues and present and future health care trends as each relates to the Radiology department's quality assurance programs.

This course will investigate the evolution of radiographic equipment and provide a knowledge base of routine equipment utilized in modern imaging departments.

Advanced radiographic positioning of vertebral column and skull, demonstration and practice of these more complicated radiographic positions; topographical anatomy, pediatric radiography and film critique are integrated into the specific studies. Five (5) hours of class time per week are required.

A planned clinical experience is provided which gives the student the opportunity to build upon previous clinical experience and apply theoretical principles while performing radiographic procedures under supervision of the clinical staff. Progression in the program is dependent on the student demonstrating clinical competence on a specified number of competency evaluations (the number to be identified in the syllabus) and demonstrating continued competence on examinations in which competence has already been demonstrated.

Fundamentals of photographic processes, darkroom equipment, darkroom chemistry, processing solutions and their functions. Types and uses of X-ray film and film holders. Manipulation of exposure factors, principles and practices in technique chart construction and appropriate radiation safety measures. Five (5) hours of class time per week are required.

This course is designed for those students who have an interest in becoming a radiological technologist. It is an introductory directed study course designed to give the student a greater knowledge of what a radiological technologist does and what career opportunities are open in this field. The goal of this course is to aid students in making a career choice that is right for them.
