RDT 131 — Medical Radiography Clinic I
This course focuses on developing basic skills for the practice of radiography. Students learn proper methods to care for patients, operate radiographic and image processing equipment and perform radiographic exams of the extremities, chest, and abdomen. Students develop these skills at a clinical site under direct supervision of licensed radiographers through observation, assisting with procedures, and ultimately perform exams with indirect supervision. Students assess radiographic images for quality, accuracy, and suggest appropriate actions for improvement. Satisfactory completion of three (3) imaging competencies is required to pass this course and advance in the RT program.
