PRO 1102 Radiographic Procedures II & Lab
This course is a coordinated classroom and lab in which students will learn radiographic positioning including pelvic girdle, spine, and thorax examinations. Anatomy pertinent to each radiographic examination is also studied. Students continue to learn how to produce quality radiographs and continued laboratory experience will demonstrate the application of theoretical principles and concepts. Students continue to develop critical thinking skills and adaptive techniques for use on difficult or non-standard patients. Methods of imaging using standard radiographic/ fluoroscopic rooms are covered. Radiation safety methods are taught with each unit of study. During lab, students simulate performing radiographic procedures on fellow classmates. Students will utilize energized imaging equipment to demonstrate proper positioning and positioning errors using phantom body parts. Testing for this course includes practical and written testing. This course requires PRO 1101 or comparable courses as a prerequisite.
