    Description
    This course provides a comprehensive study of radiographic positioning of the upper extremity, shoulder, lower extremity, pelvic girdle, bony thorax, respiratory system, and abdomen. There will be an emphasis on associated anatomy, radiographic image evaluation, communication, patient care, and safety. Consideration is given to radiation protection and safety practices, and the production of images of optimal diagnostic quality. Laboratory experience complements the didactic portion. This course provides the knowledge base and cognitive skills necessary to perform standard and special radiographic procedures, with both cultural and physical conditions addressed.
