Radiologic Technology Course Descriptions

HLT 150 - Introduction To Radiologic Technology

This beginning level course provides an introduction to the organization and operation of agencies providing health care and radiologic services. Medical terminology and radiologic topics including elementary radiation protection, professional ethics, darkroom techniques, common contrast media, photographic principals of radiographic exposure, film and intensifying screens are presented. The student will also perform core clinical competencies in patient care.

HLT 151 Basics of Radiologic Technology

This course is designed to introduce the Radiologic Technology Student to the basic radiographic principles, techniques and core competencies in patient care prior to starting Clinical Practicum in the fall semester. The student will learn pertinent medical terminology, professional ethics, introduction to radiation protection and organization and workflow of clinical settings. The student will also learn to perform and analyze routine PA and Lateral Chest Radiographs and AP stretcher or wheelchair patient chest radiographs. The student will also learn to perform Supine and Upright Abdomen radiographs. The student will participate in didactic lecture via Zoom online and weekly in-person lab appointments to show competency in these exams upon completion of the summer session.

HLT 152 - Basic Radiographic Procedures

This course will review routine radiographic procedures and applicable anatomy. Students will perform basic chest, abdomen, upper, and lower extremities procedures. Phantom radiography in the fully digital X-Ray Lab prepares the student for practical application of these procedures in the assigned radiology department in the healthcare field.

HLT 154 - Clinical Practicum I

In this first clinical course, students are oriented to the clinical practicum experience and health agency guidelines, and learn about medical ethics and patient interaction. Observation and supervised performance of required radiographic examinations for clinical competence includes positioning of the chest, abdomen, upper and lower extremities.

HLT 158 - A&P for Radiologic Technology

This course offers an in-depth coverage of Anatomy and Physiology as it pertains to Radiologic Technology. Anatomy and physiology for radiologic technology is a course that will enable students to develop an understanding of the relationships between the structures and functions of the human body in radiography terms. This course will involve laboratory activities, projects, textbook material, models, diagrams, and clinical studies.

HLT 170 - Principles Of Radiographic Quality

This second semester course continues to build on the foundation knowledge presented in the introductory courses. Student learning emphasizes topics of patient care, contrast media, radiographic quality, utilization of devices for improving the radiographic image, and equipment sterilization.

HLT 171 - Radiologic Instrumentation

This second semester course of the radiologic technology program presents and expands upon principles of general physics and concepts in technical math. This course presents the foundations of electrical physics and principles related to the radiography field. Topics will include an understanding of physics principles, concepts, and components) required in the electrical production of radiation used in the clinical setting and of the principles used in image capturing techniques. The course also presents basic interactions of radiation with matter. Applied radiographic calculations are also covered.

HLT 172 - Intermediate Radiographic Procedures

In this second laboratory course, the student continues to be presented with routine radiographic procedures and applicable anatomy of the axial skeleton. Phantom radiography and role-playing prepare the student for practical application of the procedures in the assigned radiology department in health care agencies.

HLT 174 - Clinical Practicum II

In this second clinical course, students continue to learn the fundamentals of radiographic positioning and principles of radiographic exposure, including examinations of the pelvis and hips, ribs and sternum, spine, digestive system, urinary tract and biliary system. This clinical practicum also provides students with additional film critique and the principles of pediatric radiography.
