RADT1781 — Clinical Radiography I
RADT 1781 - Clinical Radiography I RADT 1781 - Clinical Radiography I Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab 10 Course Description: The course is designed to provide students with opportunities to apply basic theoretical principles of radiography and patient care to practical experience in the clinical setting. Students will assist with and perform basic radiographic procedures under the direction of a qualified practitioner at affiliated clinical sites. State regulations regarding safe operation of radiation-generating equipment will be followed and proper radiation safety practices will be adhered to. Students must be able to perform physical tasks to complete course requirements. Acceptance into the Radiologic Technology program is required. This course requires a Minnesota Human Services background study with no restrictions. MnTC Goals None Perform digital computed radiography (CR) processing by applying the theoretical components discussed in RADT 1040 - Radiographic Exposure Factors .
