The course provides an introduction to the anatomical landmarks used to position patients, while giving attention to specific patient considerations, such as: culture, communication, and transport/transfer.  In AHXR 141, students will apply positioning principles in the lab setting, gaining familiarity with the equipment used to perform diagnostic imaging studies and practicing the methods and positions required to obtain images. Please see the end of this document for a weekly class schedule.  PREREQUISITES:  Students must have completed all general Program prerequisites. REQUIRED TEXT:  Textbook of Radiologic Positioning & Related Anatomy: 9th Edition, 2014, by John Lampignano & Leslie Kendrick.
