    Description
    This course provides a comprehensive study of radiographic positioning of the vertebral column, special studies, abdominal viscera, contrast studies, and upper airway. Procedural considerations for contrast studies, mobile and surgical radiography, and trauma will be addressed, as well as age-specific considerations, including pediatric and geriatric considerations. There will be an emphasis on associated anatomy, related introductory pathology, radiographic image analysis, communication, and patient care and safety. Radiation protection and evaluation of optimal diagnostic images are stressed. 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.
