Lecture pical Outline: - Patient cnsideratins: establishing rapprt with patient, deplying apprpriate cmmunicatin strategies, preparing patient, assisting patient, mnitring patient, dismissing patient - Psitining cnsideratins fr rutine radigraphic prcedures: instructing the patient, centering, practicing radiatin safety and prtectin, anatmical cnsideratins, psitining aids, special cnsideratins - Image analysis: image appearance standards, image identificatin, patient psitining, part placement, image receptr selectin and placement, beam-part-receptr alignment, beam restrictin - Radigraphic techniques: kilvlt peak (kvp), milliamperes per secnd (mas), surce t image distance (SID) - Equipment & perating equipment: X-ray machines, darkrm, prcessr, digital system, phantms, accessries, psitining aids - Psitining and anatmy fr the fllwing studies: upper limb, lwer limb, chest and abdmen - Final exam b. Lab pical Outline: - Using radigraphic equipment - Patient cnsideratins - Psitining cnsideratins - Image analysis - Utilizing apprpriate radigraphic techniques - Psitining and prducing diagnstic images f the upper limb: hand, wrist, frearm, elbw, humerus, shulder, scapula, clavicle and sft tissue - Psitining and prducing diagnstic images f the lwer limb: ft, ankle, calcaneus, tibia, fibula, knee, patella, femur, pelvis and hip - Psitining and prducing diagnstic images f the chest and abdmen - Final exam 3. Curse Measurable Objectives: Page 4 f 6
1. Identify the structures demnstrated n rutine radigraphic images t include bnes, bny prcesses and bny depressins. 2. Apply general radiatin safety and prtectin practices assciated with radigraphic examinatins. 3. Determine crrective measures t imprve inadequate images. 4. Use lead markers n the image receptr t indicate bdy psitin and/r time. 5. Use persnnel and radiatin prtectin measures warranted by each exam. 6. Operate the beam restrictr t limit radiatin expsure and imprve image quality. 7. Demnstrate all psitining methds and prduce diagnstic images f the upper and lwer limbs, chest and abdmen. 8. Operate radigraphic equipment and prper use f psitining aids. 9. Practice darkrm prcedures resulting in radigraphs f suitable quality. 10. Psitin the phantm and image receptr t achieve accurate demnstratins f the affected bdy part. 11. Select image receptr and/r grid cmbinatins apprpriate fr the part being examined and technical factrs t prduce quality diagnstic images with the lwest radiatin expsure pssible. 12. Assess patient cnsideratins t determine specific needs f the patient, instructins, and/r pssible adaptatin t standard radigraphic prcedures. 13. Critique images fr apprpriate anatmy, accuracy f psitining, centering, marker placement, beam restrictin, patient identificatin and verall image quality. 4. Curse Methds f Evaluatin: Categry 1.
