NOTES:

COURSE OBJECTIVES / GOALS:
Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:
  • Identify external landmarks and correlate to underlying anatomy of interest
  • Accurately position the part and patient to demonstrate the anatomy of interest
  • Accurately calculate the kVp and mAs for a given procedure
  • Identify the pertinent radiographic anatomy and basic pathology on images
  • Properly use ancillary positioning devices such as markers, calipers, sponges, etc.
  • Practice proper radiation safety and follow the ALARA principle
  • Establish rapport with patients and acquire medical history pertinent to the procedure
  • Administer various contrast agents to patients as indicated
  • Recognize and treat adverse reactions to contrast agents
  • Use proper aseptic technique as indicated per procedure
  • Perform venipuncture
