RADS 2340 - Radiologic Procedures/Seminar 3

Academic Division:

Health Sciences

Academic Discipline:

Radiological Sciences

Assistant Dean: Leesa Cox, MBA, PTA

1.5 Credit(s)
Radiographic procedures of the neck, digestive and biliary systems will be presented. Students will learn to work with barium sulfate, gastrografin, and carbon dioxide as contrast medium for the digestive system. Laboratory exercises in an energized lab provide the student with practical application of the classroom material. Radiation protection is emphasized. Radiographic pathology of the digestive and hepatobiliary systems will be presented. Students will learn to recognize pathology of the digestive and hepatobiliary system on medical images and be able to identify imaging procedures appropriate for each body system. A one hour seminar will cover various clinical topics. UG

0.5 Seminar Hour(s);

Required Prerequisite Course(s): Take RADS 1220

Required Concurrent Course(s): Take RADS 2321 , RADS 2360 , RADS 2340L
