Prerequisite: MIM 113 and MIM 114 (C or better) Corequisite: MIM 115
This course is an introduction to the Medical Imaging department and clinical practice. The student will become familiar with the physical plant and protocols of the clinical education center where he/she will receive clinical experience. The course will include supervised performance of routine radiographic examinations of the chest, abdomen, and appendicular skeleton.
Prerequisite: Admission to the Medical Imaging Program Corequisites: MIM 111 and MIM 112
Surveys physical patient assessment, specialty medical equipment, medical emergencies, and trauma radiography. Pharmacologic properties of contrast media and venipuncture principles are also emphasized.
Prerequisite: MIM 115 and MIM 116 (both C or better).
Covers mechanical and electrical physics applied to x-ray equipment and factors affecting x-ray emission. Survey of digital vascular radiography and interventional procedures. Labs and discussions in principles of radiographic exposure and image evaluation are included.
Supervised clinical practice. Emphasis on routine special procedures, surgical, trauma, and mobile radiography. Observations and practice in vascular and interventional procedures are included.
Surveys radiation therapy and nuclear medicine. Radiation biology, radiation regulations, radiation measurements, pediatric and geriatric radiography, and sensitometry and quality control are included. Labs and lectures include principles of radiographic exposure, quality control, and film critique.
Prerequisite: MIM 210, MIM 211, and MIM 212 (C or better in all)
Supervised competency based clinical practice. Emphasis continued on routine and vascular special procedures, surgical, trauma, and mobile radiography. Includes orientation rotations to advanced imaging modalities.
Introduces the student to computer design as it applies to radiology, including a survey into computed tomography and digital radiography functions and processing parameters. Discusses concepts from pararadiologic modalities, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, cardiovascular/interventional radiography, diagnostic ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Physics and imaging parameters of computed tomography and planar image techniques are emphasized. Case studies will be presented.
This course introduces the principles of magnetic resonance imaging. The course will focus on imaging sequences/parameters and their effects quality exams. Imaging hardware and production, quality assurance, and safety considerations are also presented.
Prerequisite: Admission to the MRI Program
This course introduces MRI scanning procedures and application. Scanning parameters and patient care will be emphasized for examination of the head and neck, spine, thorax, abdomen/pelvis, musculoskeletal and advanced imaging procedures. Radiographic critiques and quality assurance will also be emphasized.
This course introduces the student to the principles of single slice, multislice and volume scanning computed tomography. It will also cover CT fluoroscopy, angiography, and quality control. Other topics include patient care and assessment, medical emergencies, radiation protection, aseptic techniques and imaging procedures of the musculoskeletal and reproductive systems. Trauma imaging will also be discussed for the central nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, musculoskeletal and reproductive systems.
Prerequisite: MIM 252 (C or better) and Acceptance into the CT program OR Approval by department chair
This course is a continuation of CT Sectional Anatomy and Pathology I (MIM 256). Emphasis is placed on the cross-sectional anatomy and pathology of the pelvis, vertebral column/spinal cord, reproductive, urinary, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular/systemic vascular systems. Trauma imaging and pediatric specificities are also presented. Comprehensive reviews of all systemic anatomy and pathology are completed.
Prerequisite: MIM 256 (C or better) and Acceptance into the CT program OR Approval by department chair
