RADT 211 - Radiologic Technology with Clinical V

6 Credits: 4 Lecture Hours/3 Lab Hours

Course Description
This course provides an advanced review of radiographic pathology and introduces optional supplementary imaging modalities while reinforcing the essential functions of the radiologic technologist in preparation for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Examination in Radiography. Students continue to apply and practice the full spectrum of radiographic and fluoroscopic procedures, progressing from direct to indirect supervision under certified technologists and radiologists. The course emphasizes competency, professional practice, and clinical decision-making.
