RADT 1032 - Anatomy and Positioning II

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture NoneLab None
Course Description: This course is the second of two semester courses that pertain to anatomy and radiographic positioning of the human body. The first portion of the course pertains to anatomy and positioning of the vertebral column and skull. The second portion of the course places emphasis on the use of contrast medium in radiography of the body systems. Routine contrast procedures of the digestive, biliary and urinary procedures and related anatomical structures will be included. The remainder of the course will emphasize specialized procedures using contrast medium. The student will demonstrate theory and clinical applications in the laboratory setting. The student must be able to perform physical tasks to complete course requirements.

  3. identify anatomical structures of the skull and facial bones on radiographs.
  4. describe the basic composition of various contrast media and their administration.
  5. describe the signs of a contrast media reaction and the emergency protocol to perform.
  6. describe various contrast procedures performed using fluoroscopic and tomographic equipment.
  7. identify anatomical structures of the digestive, biliary, and urinary systems on radiographs.
  8. identify anatomical structures on specialized contrast procedures to include myelogram, hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and arthrogram.
  9. perform phantom images of the abdominal organs/digestive/urinary systems using proper radiation safety practices according to ALARA standards.
  10. simulate the routine positions performed of the vertebral column in the laboratory setting.
