Radiographic Positioning & Anatomy II

This course continues to develop students' positioning skills with focus on specific anatomy and positioning procedures of the pelvis, hip, bony thorax, lumbo-sacral, thoracic and cervical spine, GU and GI systems. Students practice these skills through laboratory activities before performing them on live patients in their clinical assignments. The course focuses on problem solving for atypical imaging conditions requiring modification to the usual positioning procedure. Students learn the skeletal anatomy of specified body parts, identify specific structures within these anatomical regions, and simulate any exam procedure discussed during the course.
