RADT 1032 - Anatomy and Positioning II

Credits: 4
Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab 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. 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 systems and related anatomical structures will be included.  Content specific to specialized procedures using contrast medium including angiography will also be covered. The third portion of the course covers anatomy and positioning of the skull. Acceptance into the Radiologic Technology program is required.

  5. identify anatomical structures of the skull and facial bones on radiographs.
  6. describe the basic composition of various contrast media and their administration.
  7. describe the signs of a contrast media reaction and the emergency protocol to perform.
  8. describe various contrast procedures performed using fluoroscopic and tomographic equipment.
  9. identify anatomical structures of the digestive, biliary, and urinary systems on radiographs.
