education are reviewed. This course will include out-of-school preparation hours such as reading and writing assignments, practice and practical application assignments, and projects. A minimum of 20 hours of outside class work will be assigned. XRT102–RadiographicProceduresI–70ClockHours/6.0QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of XRT 101 with a “C” or better. This course introduces the medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, and common chest, thorax, and upper extremities pathologies. Routine chest, bony thorax, and upper extremity radiographic procedures are described and demonstrated. Students demonstrate competency in performing routine radiographic procedures during simulated radiographic examinations. This course will include outside-of-school preparation hours such as reading and writing assignments, practice and practical assignments, and projects. A minimum of 30 hours of outside class workwillbeassigned. XRT103–RadiographicEquipmentandExposure–50ClockHours/5.0QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of XRT 102 with a “C” or better. This course introduces students to concepts of radiographic image quality and the exposure factors that contribute to producing radiographic images. Students are introduced to radiographic equipment, exposure relationships, and digital factors contributing to image production. Students participate in experiments to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding, and skills by performing different techniques and exposure factors. XRT104–RadiographicProceduresII–70ClockHours/6.0QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of XRT 103 with a “C” or better. This course introduces the medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, and common pathologies of the skeletal system, with particular emphasis on the thorax, shoulder girdle, and spine bones. Routine radiographic procedures appropriate to the thorax, shoulder girdle, and spine are described and demonstrated. Students demonstrate competency in performing torsoskeletal radiographic procedures during simulated X-ray examinations. XRT105–RadiationProtectionandPhysics–70ClockHours/7.0QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of XRT 104 with a “C” or better. This course provides a basic overview of radiologic physics for students to understand how X-rays are produced and the various characteristics of the beam. The fundamentals of the X-ray machine components and their operation are introduced. Principles of radiation protection, responsibilities of the radiographer to patients, personnel, and the public, radiation health, and safety requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies, accreditation agencies, and medical organizations are covered. Interaction of radiation with molecules, cells, tissues, and the body as a whole,andthefactorsaffectingbiological response will be identified. XRT106–IntegrationofTheoryandPracticeFundamentals–25ClockHours/2.0QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of XRT 105 with a “C” or better. This course focuses on activities associated with refining radiographic imaging skills and medical assistant skills application in an x-ray environment. Emphasis is placed on proper positioning. Image critique, patient care, and radiation protection are also reviewed. This course will include outside-of-school preparation hours such as reading and writing assignments, practice and practical assignments, and projects. A minimum of five (5) hours of outside class work will be assigned. XRT107–ClinicalPracticeI–160ClockHours/5.0QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of XRT 106 with a “C” or better. 259
