COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

The students will:

1.  Produce a significant research paper on the subject of radiologic

   technology.

2.  Identify signs of pathology when tested on radiographs of common

   procedures.

3.  Cite three general methods of recognizing pathological conditions

   as demonstrated on radiographs.

4.  Evaluate radiographs and demonstrate proficiency in making appropriate

   technique adjustment particular to a disease.

Topics and Scope

1.  General and specific pathology as shown on radiographs and in

   the field of radiologic technology.

2.  Diagnostic imaging modalities.

     A. Ultrasonography.

     B. Nuclear medicine.

     C. Magnetic resonance imaging.

3.  Radiation therapy, education and career choice.

4.  Overview of radiologic pathology as lectured by radiologists and

   other experts.

5.  Current technical advancements in the diagnostic imaging.

     A. Interventional radiology.

     B. Therapeutic radiology

A series of guest lecturers on radiographic pathology covering the normal

variations and abnormal changes due to disease or trauma as manifested by

x-rays; the modifications of standard and special techniques necessary to

obtain optimum diagnostic x-ray studies and various modalities in diagnost

ic imaging used in diagnosis and treatment of pathologies.

Assignments:

1.  Ten page term paper on a case study or scientific subject

   pertaining to radiologic technology.

2.  Weekly reading, written or other assignments
