Radiography
Contact(s): Tiffany Barbee
The Radiography curriculum prepares the graduate to be a radiographer, a skilled healthcare professional who uses radiation to produce images of the human body.
Coursework includes clinical rotations to area healthcare facilities, radiographic exposure, image processing, radiographic procedures, physics, pathology, patient care and management, radiation protection, quality assurance, anatomy and physiology, and radiobiology.
Graduates of accredited programs are eligible to apply to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists’ national examination for certification and registration as medical radiographers. Graduates may be employed in hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices, medical laboratories, government agencies, and industry.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Accurately position patients for routine and non-routine exams.
- Comply with radiation safety principles.
- Evaluate radiographic images to determine diagnostic quality.
- Implement critical thinking skills during non-routine exams.
- Demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for employment as a radiologic technologist.
