RADI 126 - Radiologic Positioning, Procedures and Pathology 1 4 CR
Students will learn radiographic imaging procedures of the chest, abdomen, upper limb, humerus and shoulder girdle, lower limb, and femur and pelvic girdle. Focus on anatomical positioning with attention to various patient needs and abilities will be emphasized. Students will learn to critique images for diagnostic quality, as well as develop the ability to identify normal anatomical structures from common abnormal pathological processes. Students will also participate in small group skill-building lab activities.
[32-64-96] Lab Fee
Additional Information: Formal Admission to the Radiography Program required.
