RADT 118 — Clinical Radiography I
Students will be exposed to a patient-centered, supervised, and competency-based clinical experience in order to initiate performance of radiography skills including patient care and assessment, positioning patients for exams, setting radiographic exposure techniques, manipulating radiographic imaging equipment, providing radiation protection, and evaluating radiographic images. Patient care and radiography concepts will be integrated and progressively employed in a clinical setting. Students, under direct supervision of a registered technologist, will perform radiographic procedures to produce diagnostic quality radiographic images of the chest, abdomen, upper extremity and shoulder girdle, lower extremity, pelvic girdle, and spine including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Clinical Radiography I is an introductory clinical education component of the program.
