XR0515 – Diagnostic Imaging Basics <strong>and</strong> Anatomy<br />
Units: 3<br />
This is an introductory level course pertaining to the appearance of both osseous <strong>and</strong> soft tissue anatomy as<br />
visualized on plain film radiographs <strong>and</strong> to a lesser extent advanced imaging. Anatomic areas covered include<br />
the spine, extremities, chest <strong>and</strong> abdomen. Emphasis will be placed on the categories of anatomy<br />
identification both on plain films, <strong>and</strong> to a lesser extent CT <strong>and</strong> MRI, normal/congenital variants <strong>and</strong><br />
developing a search pattern approach to radiographic image interpretation. Clinical reasoning behind the<br />
imaging of patients will also be discussed. Teaching methods include lectures, skills laboratory, <strong>and</strong> problem<br />
based large group discussions that focus on clinical reasoning.<br />
Prerequisites: DC: GA0102, GA0202, SP0101, AE0201 MAOM: AAN101, AAN202 DACM: GA0102, GA0202<br />
Corequisites: MSPA: GA0202<br />
Restrictions: DC, MAOM, DACM, MSPA programs only<br />
XR0620 – Image Interpretation II<br />
Units: 5<br />
This is an advanced level course that is focused on developing search pattern <strong>and</strong> radiographic<br />
identification/interpretive skills. The course will cover the radiographic appearances of pathologies affecting<br />
the spine, lower extremity <strong>and</strong> upper extremity. Practical application of advanced imaging modalities in the<br />
assessment of pathology will be presented when appropriate. Teaching methods include lectures, skills<br />
laboratory, radiology report writing exercises <strong>and</strong> problem based group discussions that focus on clinical<br />
reasoning.<br />
Prerequisites: XR0508<br />
Restrictions: DC program only<br />
XR0711 – Radiographic Positioning <strong>and</strong> Technology<br />
Units: 1<br />
This intermediate level course focuses on the skills <strong>and</strong> knowledge necessary to produce optimum quality<br />
radiographs in the clinical setting. Various aspects of patient positioning, factor calculation <strong>and</strong> film<br />
development are presented throughout this course. Methods of instruction primarily involve laboratory<br />
demonstrations <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>s on instructor guided laboratory exercises.<br />
Prerequisites: XR0305, XR0515<br />
Restrictions: DC program only<br />
