This course focuses on the development of students' clinical skills with emphasis on performing fluoroscopy, mobile, and surgical exams, as well as imaging craniofacial structures. Students expand their skills to include trauma imaging procedures, are introduced to pediatric imaging, assume independent care of stable and mildly acute patients and closely assist with severely acute patients. Students use problem solving and critical thinking skills in the management of non-typical imaging situations and continue to enhance skills involved in the assessment of image quality. Satisfactory completion of twenty-two (22) imaging competencies is required to pass this course and advance in the RT program.
