RADT1031 — Anatomy and Positioning I
RADT 1031 - Anatomy and Positioning I RADT 1031 - Anatomy and Positioning I Hours/Week: Lecture 4 Lab 2 Course Description: The course is the first of two semester courses that pertain to anatomy and radiographic positioning of the body. Initially, the student is introduced to radiographic terminology, including anatomical body planes, surfaces, movements and topographical landmarks. This course covers the anatomy and radiographic positioning of the chest, abdomen and extremities. Emphasis is also placed on bone development, skeletal articulations and joint morphology. The student will demonstrate theory and clinical applications in the laboratory setting. The student must be able to perform physical tasks to complete course requirements. Acceptance into the Radiologic Technology program is required. This coures requires students to be concurrently enrolled in RADT 1020 or consent of the RADT or MEDA program director. MnTC Goals None identify anatomical structures of the thoracic and abdominal cavities on radiographic images. simulate radiographic positioning of the chest and abdomen in the laboratory setting. perform phantom images of the chest and abdomen using proper radiation safety practices according to ALARA standards. describe the developmental and structural components of the skeletal system. identify anatomical structures of the upper and lower extremities on radiographic images. simulate radiographic positioning of the upper and lower extremities in the laboratory
