Students will spend four days a week at the clinical affiliates with minimal break time. Prerequisite: RADT 2202.

2408 Clinical 4 (8)

This course provides a continuation of rotations in the diagnostic areas of the imaging department, including ancillary rotations. Students are expected to perform competently under direct to minimal supervision of registered technologists. A didactic portion including a research paper will be included in this course. Students will spend four days a week at the clinical affiliates with minimal break time. Prerequisite: RADT 2302.

2507 Clinical 5 (7)

This course is a completion of rotations in the diagnostic areas of the imaging department, including ancillary rotations. Students are expected to perform competently under direct to minimal supervision of registered technologists. Students will spend three days a week at the clinical affiliate. A completed portfolio is a course requirement. Prerequisite: RADT 2408.

2703 Registry Review (3)

3402 Sectional Pathology and Abnormal Anatomy (2)

This course covers common diseases diagnosable via Computed Tomography (CT) or MRI. Each disease or trauma process is examined from its description, etiology, associated symptoms, and diagnosis with appearance on CT or MRI. Terms associated with these pathologies will be included. Prerequisite: Consent or ARRT Certification.

4402 Computed Tomography Principles and Procedures (2)

This course will cover patient preparation, assessment, radiation safety and dosimetry, contrast administration and dose reduction techniques as it relates to Computed Tomography. It will also include imaging processes and special procedures. Prerequisite: Consent or ARRT Certification.

4404 Computed Tomography Physics and Instrumentation (4)

This course will review radiation physics as well as discussion of Computed Tomography physics. Content covered will include CT systems operation, components, image processing, image display, informatics, image quality, and artifact recognition and reduction. Prerequisite: Consent or ARRT Certification.

461- Computed Tomography Clinical Imaging (2 or 4)

This course allows students to utilize clinical sites to gain hands-on experience completing exams that are required to sit for the ARRT registry. Students may enroll for a maximum of 4 credit hours a semester. Prerequisite: Consent or ARRT Certification.
