It teaches students how to use boney landmarks to position patients, while giving attention to specific patient considerations, such as: culture, communication, and transport/transfer. Laboratory experience will complement the didactic portionSTUDENT PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES:Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:I Describe standard positioning terms2. Demonstrate proper use of positioning aids3. Discuss general procedural considerations for radiologic examinations4. Identify the location of structures using directional and orientation terms5. Indicate where various planes lie in relation to the body6. Identify and locate the bones of the human skeleton7. Identify bony processes and depressions found on the human skeleton8. Differentiate the primary and secondary curves of the spine9. Describe sesamoid bones and locate examples on radiographs10. Summarize the functions of the skeletal systemII Label different types of articulations12. Compare the types, locations and movements permitted by the different types of articulations13. Demonstrate the use of topographical landmarks to locate internal structures14. Identify major anatomical structures found within sectional images.15. Adapt general procedural considerations to specific clinical settings16. Cite the structures demonstrated on routine radiographic/fluoroscopic procedures.17. Adapt radiographic, fluoroscopic and basic CT procedures based on special considerations18. Simulate radiographic, fluoroscopic, and basic CT procedures on a person or phantom in a laboratory setting19. Evaluate images for positioning, centering, appropriate anatomy and overall image quality20. Discuss equipment and supplies necessary to complete radiographic, fluoroscopic and basic CT procedures21. Recite the patient preparation necessary for various contrast and special studies22. List and explain the routine and special views for all radiographic and fluoroscopic procedures23. Explain the purpose for using negative and positive contrast media agents.24. Distinguish between the types and purpose for various upper and lower gastrointestinal studies25. Identify methods that may be utilized for modifying directions when communication barriers during patient education26. Explain radiographic procedures to patients and family members27. Develop an awareness of cultural factors that necessitate adapting standard exam protocols28. Apply general radiation safety and protection practices associated with radiologic examinations and basic CT29. Demonstrate correct principles of body mechanics applicable to patient care30. Demonstrate techniques for specific types of patient transfer31. Demonstrate select procedures for turning patients with various health conditionsSTUDENT PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT METHODS AND GRADING PROCEDURES:Grading scale:100-90 A 89-80 B 79-70 C 69-60 DGrades will be determined by total points received for attendance, participation, demonstration of proper body mechanics, proper positioning techniques, comprehension of terminology, a research paper, tests, and final exam:Attendance/ Absences and Tardies (class & labs) -  15 %Class and Lab Participation -  20 %Paper -  15%Lab Practical -  25 %Final Exam -  25 %Quizzes are Pass/Fail; each quiz passed will earn one point to be added to Final Exam gradeThe research paper will be of a quality length (2 pages of content, minimum -  3 pages of content, maximum). It should follow the format attached, be doubled spaced, and printed in 12pt font. An abstract must be included, as well as a minimum of three scholarly resources, sited and listed in APA style.Written assignments will be graded by use of the following rubric:CRITERIA POINTS AVAILABLEGrammar, Spelling, Mechanics 15Organization/Structure/Format 10Neatness/Adherence to Requirements 20Content/Details 25Quality of Writing 15Acknowledgements /References 11100Note: Students must pass this course with a “B” (80%) in order to continue with the Radiologic Technology Program next semester.ATTENDANCE POLICY: All students are expected to come to class each day, on time. If you are unable to do so, please call my office, at least Vi hour before your absence or tardiness, and leave a message explaining the reason for your absence or tardiness.Students are expected to be prepared for class each day by having all books with them, at all times, having read the assigned chapters, and by having projects/papers complete, and ready to be turned in on time. Class attendance and participation are required, and will be gradedREQUIRED TEXT: Men ill's Allas o f  Radiologic Positioning & Procedures: Twelfth Edition (three volumes)Workbook: Merrill's Atlas o f Radiologic Positioning & Procedures: Twelfth Edition SUPPLEMENT: Merrill's Pocket Guide to Radiography (spiral hound)Resources: http://evolve.elsevier.com/enroll Course ID# 2279_pgauthier2_0001ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: AJ1 students must practice academic honesty.

Lecture (whole class) -  Griz House 01 (GH)Lab (half class) -Rm  005, Basement, Integrated Science Bldg. (ISB) Main Campus *OR* CMC TB A in lecture.• First lab students meet promptly for class on Mondays from 13:00 -14:50 .• Second lab students meet promptly for class on Monday from 15:00-16:50..• This schedule of classes/labs is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor. Appropriate notification of such changes will be provided.All Labs are held on the Main Campus, in room 005, in the basement of the Integrated Science Building unless instructed to meet at CMC. It is located on the comer of Arthur and Beckwith. The phone number to the “Hot Lab” is: 243-6696.It is strongly encouraged that students take advantage of the Campus Shuttle Bus to serve as their transportation vehicle to & from the Hot Lab. It conveniently leaves from the front door of the Administration Building of the COT every 15 minutes, beginning at 7:30 am, each day. There is a bus stop on Beckwith, directly adjacent to the parking lot of the ISB. It is suggested that at least 15 minutes be allowed for travel time from the COT to the ISB to account for the additional stops made along the shuttle route.Students are required to dress appropriately for labs, (in clean scrubs) the same as they would for Clinical Rotations, as according to the regulations set forth in the Radiologic Handbook. They must also come to Labs prepared with positioning books, notes, markers and a writing utensil.Revised 7/18/2014
