Academic Division: Health Sciences Academic Discipline: Radiological Sciences Assistant Dean: Leesa Cox, MBA, PTA 3 Credit(s) This course is a capstone to all previous radiographic procedure courses. Students will be creating a radiographic case study and presenting the case to their peers. In addition, students will be required to complete final lab simulations to assess entry-level positioning skills. Some new information will continue to be presented such as radiographic procedures of the urinary and reproductive system. Pathology of the urinary and reproductive system will also be included to students correlate the use of specific radiographic projections and their influence on the diagnosis of diseases. Laboratory exercises in an energized lab provide the student with practical application of the classroom material. Radiation biology will be discussed and its influence on radiation protection protocols. Students will complete a Web-based research assignment investigating the impact of radiation accidents and their effect on human organisms. Medical terminology is correlated with the content of the course. American Registry of Radiologic Technologies (ARRT) certification exam review will be conducted. A one-hour seminar will include various clinical topics. Undergraduate 2 Lab Hour(s) 1 Lecture Hour(s); 1 Seminar Hour(s); Required RADS 2560 . Required as RADS 2560 . College Wide
