This course focuses on aging and health. Major health problems are identified and treatment strategies are studied. The dimensions of aging are explored. Health Care issues pertinent to the older adult are discussed.

The course will provide students with an ethical framework for decision-making in the context of a pluralistic society.  Models and principles of ethical justification among a diversity of cultures and belief systems will be analyzed.  Specific applications are made to concerns in clinical and healthcare management.  Topics include the right to healthcare, community health ethics, end-of-life issues, and organizational ethics.  F, Sp

The course is designed to emphasize the need for critical thinking and to identify factors that hinder critical thinking. This course focuses on identifying the qualities of a critical thinker through
the review of numerous case studies, performance case studies for the ionized laboratory, and critical analysis of radiographs.
Prerequisites: Pre-radiology majors and students admitted to the Radiologic and Imaging Sciences programs or consent of instructor.

This course provides the student with a detailed study of the computed tomography andmagnetic resonance imaging physics and instrumentation information.
Course topics include principles of operation, system components,
image characteristics, image resolution, image quality, scan design for spiral computed tomography, nuclear magnetism, precession of nuclei, armor frequencies, production of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal, nuclear magnetic resonance pulses, nuclear magnetic resonance decay, production of the magnetic resonance image, magnetic resonance imaging equipment, image quality, image contrast, paramagnetic contrast agents, safety, and biological hazards.

Prereq: Acceptance in the Radiologic Technology program.

This course provides the students with a detailed
study of the magnetic resonance imaging computed tomography procedures of the head and spine.

Prereq: Acceptance in the Radiologic
Technology program. SP

This course provides the studentswith an introduction to the functions and basic procedures of magneticresonance imaging and computed tomography. This course includes an
overview of the field of MRI/CT, ethics, patient care, professional stan
dards, and the clinical application of imaging skills of the following
examinations:
routine examinations of the head, skull, neck, cervical
spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine. All MRI/CT procedures will be
performed under the direct supervision of a registered MRI/CT technologist.

Prereq: Acceptance in the Radiologic Technology program. F, S
Note:
Because this is an online educational program, clinical sites are not provided by the program. Clinical education is usually done where the student is employed. If there is not a CT/MRI facility in the student’s workplace, the student is responsible for finding a clinical site. A contract with the University and the imaging facility may be necessary.

This course provides the students with a detailed
study of the magnetic resonance imaging physics and computed tomography procedures of the thorax, abdomen, urogenital system, pelvis, hip,and knee.

This course explores the current issues of the imaging sciences from a historical,legal/ethical, and political viewpoint with sensitivity and appreciation of cultural diversity. Students, while drawing upon their educational experiences, will investigate and debate new topics within the imaging sciences profession. This course aims to increase information literacy and professional development through scholarly
research and career developing activities. Students will apply their knowledge and experiences to formulate solutions to controversial problems and issues facing an ever changing imaging sciences field.
